Actor of an impressive physique (measuring more than a ninety meter with a colossus template) he notably took over from Bud Spencer in five comic films (with the Comnato Cantafora for pseudonym Michael Coby, instead of Terence Hill).

In the cinema, we especially noticed it in roles of patibular and insensitive brutes, the most memorable being that of the terrible Turkish Hamidou , Tortured to the film Midnight Express In 1978.

Other notable roles:

Brutus in Popeye De Robert Altman (1980).
Rabban "The Beast", nephew of Baron Harkonnen and brother of Feyd Rautha in Dune by David Lynch from 1984.
Falkon, the prince's servant and comic storage of Arnold Schwarzenegger in Calider still in 1984.
Faron Crush, completely crazy killer in the cartoonesque Dead on the grill de sam raimi (1985).
The Archduke of Indians in Maverick (1994).
