I heard that Enrico Maria Salerno was both an atheist and a homophobe. Whether or not I believe that is up for debate but I will say this. He is NOT one of my favorite actors. In fact, I ain't ever heard of this guy. He may be a great actor but his personal life is controversial if not questionable. I just hope I got my facts right.
