Originally from Naples, Toni Servillo is the favorite actor of director Paolo Sorrentino, who gave him international stature by entrusting him with the role of Jep Gambardella in The great beauty (Oscar for best foreign film in 2014). Impressive by his art of metamorphosis, he had embodied always under the direction of Sorrentino the politicians Giulio Andreotti in The celebrity (2008) and Silvio Berlusconi in the biopic Silvio and the Others (2018).
More recently, he played Pope Paul VI in 2022 in the series Night exterior by Marco Bellochio on the kidnapping of statesman Aldo Moro by the Red Brigades. Coming from a family passionate about theatre, Toni Servillo has also directed plays by Molière, Marivaux, Goldoni and Eduardo De Filippo, as well as several operas.
