Full Biography
|Gianni Agus (17 August 1917 – 4 March 1994) was an Italian actor with a career in film, television, and theatre since 1938. He appeared in more than 60 films between 1938 and 1991.
Life and career
Born in Cagliari, Sardinia, after his diploma in accounting Agus moved to Rome to enroll in the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia, from which he graduated in 1938. The same year he made his screen debut in Carmine Gallone's The Life of Giuseppe Verdi and his stage debut with the Merlini-Cialente company.
Agus' career took off in the post-war period, with his participation in numerous revues and musical comedies, often working with Wanda Osiris. His popularity in the general public increased thanks to television, particularly with the hosting of the eighth edition of the Sanremo Music Festival, and later as the sidekick of comedians Peppino De Filippo and Paolo Villaggio on several TV shows.
