The third of the four children of the actor, he felt the call of the stage as a child and as a boy studied acting at the Theater Workshop of Florence.

Even if for the actor the new millennium opens in the name of another very light film – Coconut Heads (2000), always with Gianmarco Tognazzi – his filmography becomes decidedly more varied. In 2002 Gassmann experiences the news film by impersonating the fixer Francesco Pazienza God’s bankers, while in the 2005 launches into wild action sequences in Transporter: Extreme, in which he is lucky enough to learn a lot from the star Jason Statham.
