    Actor de origen ruso (Vladivostok 1920-Nueva York 1985) cuyo verdadero nombre era Yuli Borisovich Bryner.

    De origen poco conocido cuyo misterio alentó el propio Yul (llegó a afirmar que había nacido en las islas Sakhalin o que era medio japonés y su nombre verdadero era Taidje Khan) parece ser que su padre fue un ruso con ascendientes suizos y mongoles (en otras páginas consultadas le otorgan la nacionalidad suiza) y su madre una gitana pura nacida en la provincia de Besarabia, que al ser abandonada por el primero se trasladó con sus…

    MOSTRA-CONVENÇÃO-BRASIL-SETEMBRO 2010 ENCERRAMENTO NO RIO DE JANEIRO 

    CENTRO CULTURAL BANCO DO BRASIL RIO DE JANEIRO

    De acordo com informações prévias em um levantamento feito pela Coordenação de Produção, Júlia Vanini, da empresa Produtora (Segunda-Feira Filmes) o nível de comparecimento do público está surpreendente. Em um levantamento parcial ainda não oficial houve uma média de 80 pessoas por seção de cinema. Isso mostra a paixão que estes filmes ainda exercem no século XXI, em plena Era Digital.

    Who Are Those Guys? – Calogero Azzaretto 


    Calogero Azzaretto is another in a long line of Italian supporting and character actors we know little about. Calogero appeared in his first film “Two Sons of Ringo” in 1966 and continued acting until his last credited film “Porte aperte” in 1990. Over his almost 25 year career he appeared in over 30 films. The majority of his films were adventure films especially crime films although he did appear in three Euro-westerns. Today he is retired and living in Favara, Italy.
