Enrico Montesano

Actor, also writer · Born July 6, 1945 (81) · Roma, Italy

An actor very much in the tradition of Italian comics, Montesano has demonstrated his talent in many sophisticated comedies, expecially when he has worked for important directors, like Monicelli or Steno. However, his qualities can also be seen in grotesque comedies or in films without any apparent meaning. He has been elected for PDS party in 1994 for the European Parliament. He is an avid fan of football, supporter of Lazio.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
