Italian actor Michele Placido turned 77 this year, as now looks famous Commissioner Cattani Bashny.Net

This year's Italian actor Michele Placido He celebrated his 77th birthday. At one time he conquered many women's hearts. But what does Commissioner Kattani look like now? We share fresh photos and news from the life of a celebrity further in the article.



Michele Placido is not one of those who dreamed of an acting career since childhood. When the time came, he went to serve in the army and then got a job in the Roman police. And only in that period, the man was very fond of the theater. As a result, the Italian entered the Academy of Dramatic Art and very soon played his first role on stage.



A few years later, Michele began acting in films. He has played many characters in many Italian films. But the world famous actor brought commissioner Corrado Cattani In the television series "Sprut."

The charming commissioner has won millions of women’s hearts around the world. However, he managed to win a special love in the countries of the former Soviet Union. In parallel with the shooting of the series, Michele worked on the villain-mafia in the film “Communication through a pizza restaurant”. And in doing so, he proved that he can play completely opposite characters, because Cattani fought the mafia, not was part of it.



Shooting the cult Italian series dragged on for 10 seasons. But Michele Placido is banally tired of being held hostage by one image. And at the end of the fourth season, his character was removed from the main branch of the narrative.

The creative path of the Italian actor Placido really was very close to the Soviet people. For example, in 1991, the film “Afghan Kink” was released. It was shot by Soviet director Vladimir Bortko. The main role in this film was played by an Italian.

It is difficult to say what made Bortko call for the role of a Soviet paratrooper officer Michele. But it turned out that the native Italian became Mikhail Bandura. His character was voiced by Oleg Yankovsky.



Michele Placido didn’t just star in movies. There was a time when he tried himself as a director. From under his pen came the scripts for the films “Pummaro” / “Tomato”, “Blood friends”, “Petersburg hero” and many others. And in 2006, the actor took an honorable place among the jury members of the 63rd Venice Film Festival.

The famous Commissioner Kattani is the winner of many film awards. He has received many awards, proving that he deserves to be a part of not only Italian but also world cinema. Despite the mature age (this year Michele turned 77), the actor continues to act in films. His last role was in the 2022 drama Shadow of Caravaggio.



By the way, in this film also played the son of the actor, handsome Brenno Placido. He followed in his father’s footsteps and has starred in nearly a dozen Italian films. I must say that the girls are crazy about Brenno just as once our mothers and grandmothers were fond of Placido Sr.

Well, it remains to wish Michele many years of life and creative inspiration. Who knows, maybe he will be able to create the same cult series as “Socurt”?
