Luigi Maria Burruano (20 October 1948 – 10 September 2017 in Palermo) was an Italian film, stage and television actor. He began his career in Sicilian-language cabaret and theatre before turning his attention to films.
Life and career
[edit]Born in Palermo, the son of a doctor, Burruano made his acting debut in a local amateur company.[1] He got a large local success playing Rancu Tanu in the comedy play Palermo oh cara and got his national breakout appearing in the eight season of the TV-series La piovra.[1]
A follower of the Stanislavski's system, he was specialized in playing Sicilian working-class characters.[1] In 2001 he was nominated for Nastro d'Argento for best supporting actor thanks to his performance in Marco Tullio Giordana's One Hundred Steps.[2] For his performance in The Return of Cagliostro and in Break Free he received a special mention from the Pasinetti Award jury at the 2003 Venice Film Festival.[3] In 2006 he was arrested on charges of stabbing his daughter's divorced husband, who did not pay alimony to his daughter nor pay child support.[1][2]
Burruano died after a long illness on 10 September 2017, at the age of 68.[1] He was the uncle of actor Luigi Lo Cascio.[1][2]
