**Introducing Carlo Franco Martini**
 
Originally from San Remo, Italy, Carlo Franco Martini began his artistic journey in acting and singing at a young age. At just two years old, he traveled to America aboard the Doria, marking the start of his career. He performed on the Italian television show *Zecchino d'Oro* and had roles in films such as *Hercules* at Cinecittà Studios. After moving to the United States in 1966, Carlo showcased his talent on platforms such as the *Joe Franklin Show* and the *Ted Mack Amateur Hour,* while also being an active member of the Ring 200 Brotherhood of  Magicians.
 
Carlo's vibrant career includes participation in Image Players High School drama theater and significant performances in Florida, where he opened for celebrities like London Lee and Mel Tillis. He performed in *Fiddler on the Roof* and *Dracula* at the Lyric Theatre in Stuart, directed by Richard Allen. In the early '80s, he returned to New Jersey for summer theater productions in New York City.
 
A turning point came in 1987 when he moved to Rome, where he landed a role in *Montecarlo Gran Casino* 

I'm grateful to Laurentii Productions and

"Mr. Aurelio Laurentii"

for believing in me and providing a platform to share scenes with talented individuals like Christian De Sica, Ezio Greggio, Lisa Stothard, and Larry Dolgin

The following year, he shared the screen with Michael Caine and Steve Martin in *Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.*
 
Carlo has also appeared in *Mr. Bean's Holiday* and *Gangs of New York,* along with speaking roles in Western films such as *Vengeance Without Mercy* and *Billy The Kid Vs. Pat Garrett.* Recognized for his contributions to poetry, he won the Trofeo of the Italian Poetry Prize in 2006.
 
As a life member of Italy-USA, Carlo has showcased his talent on platforms like RAI and CBS. He has recorded a CD featuring a mix of country and classic Italian songs, paying tribute to legends like Elvis and Frank Sinatra. A devoted fan of James Bond, he finds inspiration in figures like Clint Eastwood and Al Pacino, bringing depth and charisma to every role he takes on.
