Renato Pozzetto

actor, writer, director

Renato Pozzetto was born on Jul 14, 1940 in Italy. Renato Pozzetto's big-screen debut came with Policewoman directed by Steno in 1974, strarring Claudio Ravassi.

Actor, director, producer and also a singer, in the early 70s Renato formed a memorable duo with Cochi Ponzoni ("Cochi e Renato"), when together they produced many programs for Italian television, like "Quelli della domenica", "Canzonissima" and "Il poeta e il contadino".After this experience Pozzetto worked for many important Italian directors. He made his debut in a leading role in 1974 in Flavio Mogherini's film Pour aimer Ophélie (1974). His trademark is surreal and grotesque comedy with his characteristic awkward expression. Maybe his most brilliant performance was in _Da Grande (1987)_ which probably inspired _Big (1987)_, a film with Tom Hanks.
