Luca Argentero

Actor, also producer · Born April 12, 1978 (48) · Torino

Born in Turin, he got a degree in Economics and Business in 2004. In 2005, he made his acting debut in the TV series "Carabinieri" and a year later on the big screen in "A casa nostra", directed by Francesca Comencini. In 2007, he appeared on the big screen again in "Saturno contro", directed by Ferzan Ozpetek, and in "Lezioni di cioccolato", directed by Claudio Cupellini. In 2008, he starred in the movie "Solo un padre" by Luca Lucini, and in 2009 "Diverso da chi?", directed by Umberto Carteni, with Claudia Gerini, and was nominated for a David di Donatello as best leading actor. That same year he was in Michele Placido's "Il grande sogno" with Jasmine Trinca and Riccardo Scamarcio, as the leader of the 1968 student protest movement, and after a series of successful comedies, he appeared in two international movies: Ryan Murphy's "Eat Pray Love" with Julia Roberts, and "Le Guetteur" with Daniel Auteil. In 2020, he starred in the TV series "Doc - nelle tue mani" which was wildly popular in Italy - gathering an audience share of over 30% - as well as worldwide (Spain, Portugal, France, England, Australia, New Zealand, and some Latin American countries). The second season was equally successful. He also starred in the Disney Plus series "Le Fate Ignoranti", directed by Ferzan Ozpetek, based on the movie of the same name. Since 2012, he's been vice-president of the NPO 1caffe.org which has revived the historic tradition of the "pending coffee" as an act of charity for people in need.

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.
