Biography
Guglielmo Inglese (24 November 1892 –1 January 1962) was an Italian actor, radio personality and playwright.
Life and career
Born in Naples into a family of Apulian origins, Inglese debuted on stage as a child actor at 2 years old, and then he was part of some of the most important stage companies of the time, including the one led by Raffaele Viviani in 1920. He abandoned the theater to devote himself to radio, with which he got a large popularity thanks to his comic monologues caricaturingtypical Southern stock characters, notably the "peasant from Apulia". He made his cinema debut when he already was mature aged, in 1948, mostly cast in character roles in which he reprised his radio repertoire. He was often a sidekick of Totò, both in cinema and on stage. He was also author of several riviste.
