Tito Vuolo(1893-1962)
- Actor
- Additional Crew
- Soundtrack
Short, squat, voluble and Italian-born, Tito Vuolo could not avoid
being typecast as the jolly Italian in office. In the nineteen fifties
and sixties, Tito Vuolo portrayed dozens of Italian barbers, pizza
makers, vendors, grocers, waiters, hotel or restaurant proprietors. He
played them well but he was at his best when he was not restricted to
stereotypes, particularly in film noir where his good nature created
a powerful contrast with the atmosphere of moral decay prevailing in
such films as Kiss of Death (1947), The Web (1947), T-Men (1947), The Racket (1951), and
what is probably the best of them all, The Enforcer (1951), as the taxi
driver witnessing the murder at the beginning of the film.
