Carlo Buccirosso (Naples, 1954) is an Italian actor and playwright, appreciated for his unique mimicry and ability to characterize characters. His film career is studded with roles in popular comedies and arthouse films.

He has collaborated extensively with Vincenzo Salemme, distinguishing himself in films such as *L'amico del cuore* and *Amore a prima vista*, where he often plays middle-class, neurotic men with irresistible tics. He has also been a recurring presence in Neri Parenti's “cinepanettoni” films, including *Natale sul Nilo* and *Merry Christmas*.

A significant turning point in his career came with Paolo Sorrentino, who directed him in more dramatic and multifaceted roles in *Il divo* and *La Grande Bellezza*, performances that earned him widespread recognition and awards. His style is recognizable for his nervous gestures and his ability to make seemingly simple characters deeply human and tragicomic.
