RIP Marino Mase'

 

He was not on the list.

Farewell to Marino Masè, lead actor of Fists in the Pocket, then to Hollywood and character actor

Marino Masè , actor from Trieste starring in Marco Bellocchio 's Fists in the Pocket and one of the most popular young performers of the 1960s, died, then landed in Hollywood and also a character actor in arthouse and genre films

The Trieste actor Marino Masè , one of the most popular young performers of the 1960s, starring in Marco Bellocchio 's Fists in the Pocket , died in his home in Rome .

He was 83 years old and was seized by a sudden illness, as his daughter Rachele told Il Piccolo: « It was a completely unexpected illness. Now we are waiting for the autopsy exam to find out the causes, then there will be a commemoration in Rome and one in Trieste, after which his ashes will remain in his city, Trieste ".

After several theatrical experiences, in 1960 he began his cinematographic activity by participating in the film The Rape of the Sabine Women by Richard Pottier. He had a small role in Luchino Visconti's Il Gattopardo , released in 1963, he was the protagonist in Jean-Luc Godard's Les Carabiniers and Marco Bellocchio 's Fists in Pocket , released in 1965. In the same year he was directed by Ettore Scola in La conjuncture and had a secondary role in the film Three Gendarmes in New York directed by Jean Girault. He was then put under contract by MGM for the television series Jericho , made in Hollywood, where he relocated.

He also worked in Italian and international cinema in numerous films, obtaining small roles also with important directors: in The cannibals and The night porter by Liliana Cavani (1974), in Tenebre by Dario Argento (1982), in Il pentito by Pasquale Squitieri (1985), in Giuseppe Tornatore's debut film Il camorrista (1986), in The Belly of the Architect by Peter Greenaway (1987) and in The Godfather - Part III by Francis Ford Coppola (1990). But there were also genre films, in which he often played inspectors and policemen, from Goliath to the conquest of Baghdad to Lovers from beyond the grave , from… To all the police cars… to Il boss , from The red lady kills seven times to Contamination , from Assassinio sul Tevere to Play Motel .

In 2006 he starred in the single act Piazzale Loreto , written and directed by Pasquale Squitieri, with Ottavia Fusco. On television he participated in several episodes of Italian and foreign television series and telefilms: among the latter Codex Jericho (1966), La piovra 4 (1989), an episode of the first season of the soap opera Vivere (in 1999), in the second season of the television series Valeria medico-legal (2002) and in Un posto al sole .
