Giuliano Gemma
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giuliano Gemma (born September 2, 1938) is an Italian actor.
Born in Rome, he first worked as a stuntman, then was offered real acting parts by director Duccio Tessari, starting with the film Arrivano i titani (1962). He also made an appearance in Luchino Visconti's Il Gattopardo as Garibaldi's General. Gemma later went on to star in spaghetti westerns, where he enjoyed great success playing the hero in films such as A Pistol for Ringo (Una pistola per Ringo), Blood for a Silver Dollar (Un dollaro bucato) and Day of Anger (I giorni dell'ira). He was sometimes credited as Montgomery Wood. Giuliano Gemma's career survived the demise of the genre, and he is still active today on Italian television. Though still regarded as a western actor in Italy, Gemma has played in a variety of movies, including art-house offerings such as Valerio Zurlini's Il deserto dei tartari.
His daughter, Vera Gemma, is also an actress. Giuliano Gemma also works as a sculptor.
