Biography
Career
He is famous for his appearance in three classic films: In 1960, he made his international breakthrough as an oversexed, restless playboy in Michelangelo Antonioni's controversial L'avventura (the same year as he played one of the leads in Long Night in 1943). Then in 1968, he played railroad baron Morton in Sergio Leone's celebrated Once Upon a Time in the West. A year later, he appeared in the James Bond movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service as Marc Ange Draco, though his voice was dubbed by a British Actor. (He speaks English — see Othello — but with a heavy accent and is almost always dubbed into English by another actor.) He also appeared in Julia and Julia and the cult film First Action Hero, but he is best-known to non-mainstream audiences for the role that he played as the psychiatrist, Hans, in Liliana Cavani's arthouse classic The Night Porter (1974).
