BIOGRAPHY OF MASSIMO POPOLIZIO
Massimo Popolizio was born in Genoa on July 4, 1961, but he trained professionally in Rome in 1984 at the Silvio D’Amico National Academy of Dramatic Art and, even before graduating, he began working in the theater, establishing a lasting partnership – as many as sixteen collaborations – with Luca Ronconi. Although the theatrical debut arrived in 1983 and earned him an immediate success, so much so that he won the Ubu Prize in 1995, the film debut also took place in the same year with a small part in A boy like many others. Certainly at the beginning of his career it is the theater that puts him literally and not “in the spotlight”, while for the big screen, after a few minor films, it will be necessary to wait until 1995 to see him in a more breathtaking work, such as Bad heart with Kim Rossi Stuart, which a few years later he will find on the set of Criminal novel (2005).
The 90s spent almost empty cinematically speaking for Popolizio, who, on the other hand, during this decade is very busy with the stage. With the arrival of the 2000s, the actor will begin to make his way between supporting roles in the cinema and takes part in My brother is an only child (2007) with Riccardo Scamarcio ed Elio Germano it’s at The celebrity (2008), directed by Paolo Sorrentino where Popolizio plays the Christian Democrat Vittorio Sbardella. Popolizio begins to get noticed even TV with miniseries, like Attentatuni – The great attack (2001), The Great Turin (2005) and I do not give up (2016).
In 2009 he again shares the set with Scamarcio in the historical film directed by Michele Placido, The big dream, on the student struggles of ’68; while the following year he appears in the Christmas comedy The gang of Santas of Paolo Genovese with the trio Aldo, John is Giacomo, who will also want him with them on the set of The rich, the poor and the butler (2014) in the role of Father Amerigo. Popolizio seems to have an easy life in Italian cinema with comedy and here is 2013 sees him next to Claudio Bisio in Welcome President! as the center-left leader in the House. Sorrentino seeks him again to cast him in his acclaimed The great beauty (2013), alongside some very successful stars of the Italian cinema scene, including Toni Sorvillo, with whom the actor had already collaborated in Il divo, and Carlo Verdone, who will hire him for his We made it big (2016).
The following year is Monaldo Leopardi, father of the more famous Giacomo, in The fabulous young man (where he collaborates for the third time with Elio Germano), but it was in 2016 that he received his first starring role in It was summer, biographical film on Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, interpreted respectively by Popolizio and Giuseppe Fiorello. Film with which he won (together with Fiorello) the Special 70 Years Silver Ribbon, his first film award, but not the first Nastro – in fact, he had already won one for the theatrical interpretation of Hamlet. In 2018 it comes with I’m back the second starring role: shaved to the skin and wearing the fascist uniform, is a Benito Mussolini who has stumbled upon his awakening in an Italy that he wants to regain thanks to the help of an aspiring director with the face of Frank Matano.
During his career he never forgets his first love, theater, which he combines with a new professional passion, that of a voice actor, giving his voice to many international colleagues, such as Ralph Fiennes (alias Lord Voldemort) in the various Harry Potter.
