Luigi Pistilli is a Actor Italien born on 19 july 1929 at Grosseto (Italie)
Luigi Pistilli (19 July 1929 – 21 April 1996) was an Italian actor of stage, screen, and television.
At one time Luigi Pistilli was one of Italy's most respected actors of stage, screen, and television. In theater, was considered one of the country's finest interpreters of Bertolt Brecht's plays in The Threepenny Opera and St Joan of the Stockyards. Pistilli studied acting at Milan's Piccolo Teatro, graduating in 1955.
He appeared in many spaghetti Westerns such as The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) (as the priest brother of Eli Wallach's character Tuco) and in For a Few Dollars More (1965) as the cunning second-in-command Groggy (his first credited film role). He played the murderous Albert in the Mario Bava giallo Twitch of the Death Nerve in 1971. He had a regular role on the popular Italian television Mafia drama The Octopus. He also appeared as the main villain in Death Rides a Horse (1967).
After a role in the 1970 Charles Bronson thriller Cold Sweat, in 1972 he appeared in the giallo film Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key playing an alcoholic, and appeared as an exorcising priest in the 1974 cult horror film The Eerie Midnight Horror Show.
Pistilli committed suicide in his home in Milan just before he was scheduled to appear in the final performance of Terence Rattigan's Tosca April 21, 1996. The program was panned by critics and audiences and that might have contributed to Pistilli's state of mind. However, according to his suicide note, Pistilli had suffered deep despair after making bitter public comments regarding the recent end of a four-year off-stage relationship with singer and actress Milva. In his note he apologized to her for the spiteful statements released in the published interview.

After Rogas discovers evidence of corruption surrounding the three government officials, he is encouraged by superiors "not to forage after gossip," but to trail the "crazy lunatic who for no reason whatever is going about murdering judges." This near admission of guilt drives Rogas to seek out three men wrongfully convicted by the murdered judges. He is joined by a journalist friend working for a far-left newspaper, Cusan.
