Giorgio Colangeli

Giorgio Colangeli, born December 14, 1949, in Rome—yeah, smack in the heart of the city—has been around the block, and it shows in pretty much everything he does. The guy’s filmography reads like a who’s-who of Italian cinema, and no, he’s not just some guy who pops up in the background. He’s played heavy-hitters in movies like "Pasolini, un delitto italiano" (where the whole country was buzzing about the case), "La cena" (that one’s basically a masterclass in awkward dinner conversations), and "Il divo," which, honestly, is a wild ride through Italian political drama. Don’t sleep on "La doppia ora," either—a psychological thriller that’ll mess with your head if you’re not careful. "Romanzo di una strage" dives into one of Italy’s darkest chapters, and Colangeli brings this weighty, gritty intensity to the screen, making you feel like you’re living through the chaos yourself. And then there’s "20 sigarette," which is all about war, trauma, and, well, a lot of cigarettes—he doesn’t shy away from tough roles. But, let’s not box him in. Colangeli’s also killed it in TV series and short films, proving he’s not just a big-screen guy. Whether he’s playing a cop, a crook, or just a regular Joe with a complicated past, there’s something raw and real about his performances. You just can’t fake that kind of talent, you know? The guy’s a mainstay for a reason—he brings authenticity, grit, and a little bit of that Roman swagger to everything he touches.
