BIOGRAPHY OF FORTUNATO CERLINO

Fortunato Cerlino was born in Naples on June 17, 1971 and from an early age he seems determined to pursue an acting career; in fact, in 1990 he received the three-year certificate of the Diana Theater Academy in Naples and in 1991 he graduated from the Academy of Dramatic Art of Calabria. These qualifications did not stop him from continuing his studies and during the 1990s he made several trips abroad to attend drama courses and seminars.

The early beginnings are small roles in the cinema with Dear Tomorrow (1999) and Rebels by chance (2001), while on TV appears in the soap A Place in the Sun (1997), in the miniseries The theft of the treasure (2000) and in the series The team (2002). Still not fully satisfied with his preparation, in 2006 he attended Luca Ronconi’s specialization school at the Santa Cristina Theater Center. Various experiences in the theater followed, where he was directed by Ronconi himself and – among others – also by Paolo Virzì. In recent years Cerlino has also dedicated himself to writing for the stage and to directing some shows, including “I could have killed Merkel, but I didn’t”.

In 2008 he took part in the successful film Gomorrah, directed by Matteo Garrone and based on the novel of the same name by Roberto Saviano, but his is only a small part, as well as the roles assigned to him in the television productions of those years. To bring Cerlino to success is, however, the series on Gomorrah (2014) with the role of the boss Don Pietro Savastano, which he will cover until 2017. From this moment on the career of the Neapolitan actor undergoes a strong surge, not only in the cinema, where he is the protagonist of the comedy The minister (2015), but also on TV, taking part in several foreign productions. In 2015 he participates in the US series Hannibal playing the role of the corrupt Inspector Pazzi and in 2016 he is the merchant Mastro Bredani The doctors. Extras of global importance also arrive at the cinema, when he plays a small part, that of the keeper of the museum, in Hell (2016) of Ron Howard.

Cerlino also received excellent results from Italian cinema: in 2017 he starred together with Vinicio Marchioni of Socially dangerous and noir Hawks. On TV he is Vespasian for the Anglo-American series Britannia (2018), is Don Alfonso – a parody of “his” Don Pietro – in Romulus + Giuly (2018) and Mario Muzio in the crime-drama Half black (2018). In 2019 he takes part in Copperman, story of a sui generis superhero starring Luca Argentero.
