Personal Quote:

To be an actor is to be someone who likes to express himself, to integrate himself with his part. I have missed occasions to transmit my joy, my optimism, about life. It is my particular attitude to be generous, to look for the positive, in front of the mistakes of other people ... my sympathy for the human being. See more »

Trivia:

Father of actors Eleonora Vallone and Saverio Vallone.
