Centurion of the television Empire
February 16, 1963 Claudio Amendola was born in Rome on 16 February 1963, and is an actor, television presenter, producer and voice actor Italian, considered early in his career as one of the most gifted young national cinema. An artistic family, his father is the actor and great voice actor Ferruccio Amendola, Italian "voice" for years of Sylvester Stallone. His mother, Rita Savagnone, is also an actress and voice actress. Grew up on the street, the young Claudio Amendola decides to jump the gun, both in life and in the world of cinema. At the age of nineteen years, in 1982, he married his first wife, Marina Grande, and simultaneously started his acting career after making a series of menial jobs, as the salesman and the HoD. The tv series in which it appears is titled "story of love and friendship", directed by Franco Rossi, and Amendola takes part alongside James, his father, one of the main characters. The next year, confirming its earliness, the young Roman actor has his first daughter, Alessia, currently American actress, and made his debut at the cinema, in the movie "far from where" by Stefania Casini and Francesca Marciano. Just twenty years in practice, Claudio Amendola is aware of their talent, some yet to be sgrezzare quite a bit, according to other natural and authentic for that. Carlo Vanzina, Director, wants him immediately for his comedies and in 1983 called him to play a part in "Christmas vacation", the first film in the series that will last for decades and beyond. A year later, Claudio Amendola is called always by Director comedian, to take part in the film "love each other a bit." Same thing in 1985, in "holidays in America". The following year, the young Amendola change gender and begins his long journey in the different stylistic registers, more or less accepted by film criticism, much appreciated by the audience. The 1986 is the year of eros, with the film "La veneziana" by Mauro Bolognini, where she plays a gondolier mendacious and charming. But it is the encounter with Marco Risi, the following year, to change his life. The Director, surprisingly it is appropriate to say, offers him the chance to face a dramatic role in the movie "Soldati-365 All'alba". Claudio Amendola plays a recruit victim of "hazing from barracks", continually haunted by the harassment of a Lieutenant, played masterfully by actor Massimo Dapporto. This is the beginning of Amendola in uniform, saw that the young actor Roman starts with Risi's film to assume the role of characters in which the line between good and evil is not always given. "I giorni del Commissario Ambrosio", by Sergio Corrucci and 1988, confirm this. Here is none other than the great Claudio Amendola alongside Ugo Tognazzi, as his collaborator. Meanwhile, the sirens of television, with its small series and movies for families, try the Roman actor. "The shadow of Vesuvius", of 1987, "Little Rome", 1988 and "Er" 1 and 2 (1989 and 1990), just to name a few, see Amendola impose even to the general public, as a hero of the small screen, sometimes ambiguous, often on the side of the good guys, as in the famous "Felipe has blue eyes," published in 1992. In the meantime, Claudio Amendola is back employed by Marco Risi and boasted two of the cult films of recent years, in which his role is well defined and has little to do with ordinary justice. The Roman actor, in fact, as an inmate, he plays a dramatic role in the controversial and famous movie "Mery per sempre" of 1989, while the following year, is a fan of "Ultras", known in the equally turbulent Ricky Tognazzi, dated 1990. This is perhaps the most important moment in the career of Amendola actor, at least the most exhilarating, where even the press paints as a young beautiful and damned, but always strictly "made in Rome". The year before the lucky "Extremists", the actor had his second daughter, Julia, born in 1989. Confirming its good fortune, comes the call of great Ettore Scola, to play a part in the film "Il viaggio di Capitan Fracassa", also in 1990, along with actors like Massimo Troisi and Ornella Muti. Two years later, the Director Carlo Mazzacurati the sews clothes of a guy ambiguous, who seduces the dentist Silvio Orlando in the film, copyright, too, "another life", 1992. And here, Claudio Amendola gets his first, great recognition, won the David di Donatello for best supporting actor. The year after then, Ricky Tognazzi invokes him, giving him a part of social criticism, "The Commons", 1993. While in 1994 is one of the thieves madmen of the film; "I mitici-colpo gobbo a Milano" with Monica Bellucci and Ricki Memphis. Donatello's David and part of foreign press push his star on top and the son of Ferruccio begins to work even beyond the Italian borders, away from his beloved Rome.

In Italy however, rabid role actor Claudio Amendola, engaged, drawn from crime, as in "Pasolini, un delitto Italian" of 1995, and shot by the future Director of the famous "La meglio gioventù", Marco Tullio Giordana. Same goes for "my generation", 1996, by Wilma Labate, focused on terrorism, or "strong hands," little lucky film of 1997 and first opera by Franco Bernini, with a central affair linked to the secret services diverted. And during these two years and out of these two film sets, Amendola falls in love with the actress Francesca Neri, divorced from his first wife.

After some tv movies, like "scomparsi", "Jesus" and "Empire", the Roman actor returns to comedy, not used since the first Vanzina, very young. "Lies" by Stefania Casini, of 1997, is not a hit and the Italian cinema taking up Amendola who wants people, that subversive, a little criminal action or otherwise of such films as "other men", 1997, in which mob boss, or the Lifer "Santo Stefano", 1998. Even the subversive who plays in "carbonara", in 2000, is a film that gives it good reviews, like the protagonist of "Il partigiano Johnny", also by 2000, and based on the famous novel by Fenoglio. But that's not all.
