Throughout his long and distinguished career, he has acted both in theater – with projects such as Hallelujah good people AND Add a seat at the table – than in cinema, acting in more than 70 films.

Enzo Garinei and the films with Totò

Born in 1926, Enzo Garinei began taking his first steps as an actor when he was just 20 years old. Among the first films in which he participated is the unforgettable Totò le Mokò, with Antonio De Curtis. He continued to work with Totò as well on other films such as Totò looking for a wife; Totò third man; Toto and Carolina; Totò in hell and Totò, Eva and the forbidden brush. Garinei has always treasured the moments on set with Totò: “With him I learned all the comic times”.

The career of the actor and voice actor

His career was marked by more than 70 films, which allowed him to work with directors such as Mario Monicelli, Camillo Mastrocinque; Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia and many others. In recent years, we’ve seen him in films like Doutor Clown, by Maurizio Nichetti; 100 meters from paradise by Raffaele Verzillo and, in 2019, in the film Just a minute directed by Francesco Mandelli. Garinei also lent his voice to the dubbing: he was the voice of George on the sitcom I Jefferson, he also occasionally voiced Stan Laurel, actor in the comic book duo Laurel and Hardy. In recent years, he has worked a lot in theater, taking the stage until the 2019-2020 season, when he was 94 years old. In particular, he was involved in the Add a Seat at the Table tour, where he interpreted the voice of God.
