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.]
Rosolino Bua was born on March 3, 1901, in Palermo, Sicily, Italy. He started his career in silent films at the young age of 17 in 1918’s “La reginetta Isotta”. He then turned to the stage in Ermete Zacconi's company, to which he remained loyal after moving to Rome; after the Second World War, however, he also starred in some films again. In addition to the works of director Pino Mercanti, he worked under Pietro Germi and Luchino Visconti, among others.
Among his best-known theatre appearances are his own play “Re Messia” in 1949, in which he also directed; Pirandello's “La giara” under Accursio Di Leo. With television appearances and dubbing work, the slim, distinguished actor completed his fields of work. His final role was as Santi Di Mauro in 1972’s TV miniseries “Il marchese di Roccaverdina”.
His only Spaghetti western was as a stagecoach passenger in 1966’s “Uno straniero a Paso Bravo” (A Stranger in Paso Bravo).
Bua died in Rome on February 8, 1979, a few days short of turning 78.
