Very good looking Pierfrancesco Favino is versatile enough as an Italian language actor, having starred in dramas like Stefano Sollima’s ACAB, romantic movies like Silvio Soldini’s Come Undone, and comedies like Carlo Verdone’s A Flat For Three.
Adding to his versatility, he’s done English language movies, and one from Ron Howard is coming to US theaters this September. Rush, the story of Formula 1 champion driver Niki Lauda and the 1976 crash that almost claimed his life has Favino in the role of driver Clay Reggazzoni.

In Angels and Demons, Favino plays Inspector Olivetti.
In Spike Lee’s Miracle At St. Anna, he’s Peppi ‘The Great Butterfly’ Grotta.
And guess who played Christopher Columbus in Night At The Museum.
