I grew up in a working class family. Both of my parents did their best and sacrificed a lot to provide for me and my sister, Monica. My father taught me how to be a man and he led by example. He is disciplined, honest, and considerate. My mother is my inspiration.

In the eighties, I was discovered by a model scout in a bar in Milan. This launched my modeling career. I traveled all over the world and met everyone imaginable. I left modeling because I craved for something more, that’s why I got into acting. I studied and worked in television, film and theater and in Italy and my career took off. I lived a life of luxury and excess but it was my mother that kept me spiritually grounded. She’s the one that kept me going and kept me focused.

Over the years, I’ve learned that life has no meaning unless you give it one, and once you have meaning, you have happiness and it’s always best to share that happiness with others.

I continue to work and it’s my hope is to bring you the best of myself in the roles that I choose and in the life that I lead.
