Gianni Agus

Gianni Agus, born Giovanni Battista Agus, was an Italian actor and TV presenter. Known to the general public as an "excellent shoulder" of comedians such as Totò, Peppino De Filippo, Paolo Villaggio and Raimondo Vianello, Gianni Agus was particularly esteemed for his clear and stentorian voice, and for the prompt reactivity of his comic face. Often he played the role of the unpleasant and overbearing "boss" in theater and television sketches, but, being a versatile and capable actor, he managed to produce himself even in a committed genre.
