Hi I’m Carlo.”.ĭo you remember, at the beginning of this story when I was talking about going back and evaluating events in the retrospective? This was one of those unbelievable lucky moments. In our first encounter we had a very formal chat - “Hello, I’m Mario.
Pretty funny considering that our paths had crossed so many times in Italy until that day. Carlo played the role of “Earp Hutch” in the same movie, we met the first time on the set in Spain. Because I was hired as a last minute replacement, I had to quickly pack my stuff and fly from Italy to Almeria / Spain, the location where the movie was shot. In this movie I played the role of “Cat Stevens”. The co-star actor had an accident and broke his foot shortly before the start of the shooting and I was as hired as his replacement.
In 1967 I was hired by the director Giuseppe Colizzi shortly before the start of the shooting of “God Forgives, I Don't (Dio perdona. For example in “The Wonders of Aladdin” with Vittorio de Sica or “The Leopard” with Burt Lancaster and Claudia Cardinale and later the Karl May saga of “Winnetou”.Ĭoincidences and the vision of E.B. I continued the already well going career as an actor and had the opportunity to play roles in great movies with famous actors.
But our time had still to come, eight more years had to pass until our career would change dramatically.ĭuring this eight years Carlo worked as composer and songwriter and later in a movie production company. Our shootings were done in separate days. We were playing in the same movie, but we still didn’t know each other. Carlo was casted to play the part of a soldier in the same movie. But we did not know us personally and never had a conversation at that time.Īfter some successful years as an actor, in 1959 I was chosen to be part of the movie “Hannibal” directed by Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia playing the role of “Quintilius”. Sometimes I pursued his training sessions at the border of the swimming pool. I was an admirer of him because as a swimmer he had already broken italian records and participated at the Olympic games. Carlo Pedersoli (Bud Spencer) and I used to be members of the same swimming club in Rome / Italy when I was a teenager. In contrary to everyone's expectations, luck sometimes is not that far away to be found, but just around the corner. Do you have this retrospective moments when you think about an event in the past, the decisions that have been made and what the consequences of them were? The circumstances of how the cinematographic duo Bud Spencer and Terence Hill was born, is one of those moments that changed my quite well going career as an actor at that time dramatically and is memory I always like to remember.
