Paolo Villaggio

December 31, 1932 - July 3, 2017 Genova, Liguria, Italy
IMDb

Paolo Villaggio (30 December 1932 — 3 July 2017) was an Italian actor, writer, director and comedian. He is noted for the characters he created with paradoxical and grotesque characteristics: Professor Kranz, the ultra-timid Giandomenico Fracchia, and the obsequious and meek accountant Ugo Fantozzi, perhaps the favourite character in Italian comedy. He wrote several books, usually of satirical character. He also acted in dramatic roles, and appeared in several movies.

His titles like Fantozzi: White Collar Blues, The Second Tragic Fantozzi, and Fantozzi Against the Wind - his biggest roles first.
