Biography

Gian Maria Volontè was an Italian actor who trained at Rome's National Dramatic Arts Academy, graduating in 1957, and first made his name in theater and television after being born in Milan in 1933. Supporting film parts led to wider notice as Ramón Rojo in Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars (1964), a success repeated in For a Few Dollars More (1965). The decade that followed brought For Love and Gold (1966), Mario Monicelli's most successful Italian release of its year, and We Still Kill the Old Way (1967), which took the Grand Prix du Scenario at Cannes. He won a Nastro d'Argento in 1970 for Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion (1970), an Academy Award for Best Foreign-Language Film winner, and later starred in Lulu the Tool (1971) and The Mattei Affair (1972), both Cannes Grand Prix winners, where he also earned a Special Mention. He died in 1994.
