Biography
[edit]Antonio Gerardi was born in Potenza, Basilicata, and grew up in the neighboring municipality of Avigliano. At thirteen he started as a radio presenter for "Radio Sud", a local radio in Potenza, and joined "Radio Norba" in 1988.[1] Later he began working for national stations like "RTL 102.5" and "Radio Kiss Kiss". After a year as a reporter for the TV show Le Iene, in 2007 he made his acting debut with Il rabdomante, directed by Fabrizio Cattani, who discovered him after an argument between Gerardi and a driver for a parking lot in Trastevere, Rome, thinking Gerardi had the right skills for acting.[2]
Since then, he has worked for many films and television series. He starred in comedies and dramas such as Basilicata coast to coast, Qualunquemente, Diaz – Don't Clean Up This Blood, Balancing Act, Io sono Mia, Padrenostro, The Last Paradise, and Last Night of Amore. On television he appeared mostly in crime and political series; his most notable roles include "Il sardo" in Romanzo criminale – La serie and Antonio Di Pietro in 1992 and its sequels 1993 and 1994. In 2020 he started his own web radio "Good Fellas Music Station", specialized in soul, funk and R&B genres.[3]
