[These daily posts will cover little known actors or people that have appeared in more recent films and TV series. Various degrees of information that I was able to find will be given and anything that you can add would be appreciated.]

Roberto Bruni was an Italian supporting and character actor born in Treviso, Veneto, Italy on July 7, 1916. After graduating in accounting, he made his film debut in 1939 in a film by Guido Brignone "La mia canzone al vento". Again, with Brignone he appeared in "Maria Malibran" 1943, where he impersonated Vincenzo Bellini. After playing a seducer in the Carmine Gallone film "Il canto della vita", 1946, he began a career as a character actor until 1981. He performed theatrical prose with Ruggero Ruggeri, Ave Ninchi, Andreina Pagnani, Laura Adani, Sergio Tofano and Ettore Giannini, then in the Theatre with Erminio Macario "Scandalo al collegio" in 1944, and with Renato Rascel, Nino Taranto and Toto in "Bada che ti mangio!" 1949. He also worked in voice dubbing, television and radio. In 2002 he received, in the Campidoglio in Rome, the Oscar Capitolino.
