Sergio Fantoni (born 7 August 1930) is an Italian actor.

He was born in Rome, the son of actor Cesare Fantoni (1905–1963). In films from the late 1940s, he has worked mainly in his own country but made several appearances in American films in the 1960s, most notably opposite Frank Sinatra in the war film Von Ryan's Express, made in 1965. In 1960 he played the villainous Haman in Esther and the King, starring Joan Collins and Richard Egan in the title roles. Among his TV roles, he appeared alongside Anglo-Italian actress Cherie Lunghi in the Channel 4 series The Manageress.

Biography

Sergio Fantoni entame sa carrière d'acteur au théâtre en 1948, dans la pièce de William Shakespeare Comme il vous plaira, mise en scène par Luchino Visconti, aux côtés de Vittorio Gassman et Marcello Mastroianni. Par la suite, il joue notamment dans Cyrano de Bergerac d'Edmond Rostand (1953, avec Gino Cervi), Pour Lucrèce de Jean Giraudoux (1966-1967), Oncle Vania d'Anton Tchekhov (1975-1976), ou encore Les Séquestrés d'Altona de Jean-Paul Sartre (1991, avec Elisabetta Pozzi).

On lui doit aussi des mises en scène, entre autres de La Musica de Marguerite Duras (1986, avec Ilaria Occhini) et Petits crimes conjugaux d'Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt (2004-2005).

Au cinéma, il débute dans deux films italiens sortis en 1950, dont Le Prince pirate de Pietro Francisci (où il retrouve Vittorio Gassman). Suivent quarante-sept autres films — beaucoup étant étrangers ou en coproduction —, le dernier sorti en 2003.

Citons Senso de Luchino Visconti (1954, avec Alida Valli et Farley Granger), L'Express du colonel Von Ryan de Mark Robson (film américain, 1965, avec Frank Sinatra et Trevor Howard), Le Hasard et la Violence de Philippe Labro (film franco-italien, 1974, avec Yves Montand et Katharine Ross), ainsi que Le Ventre de l'architecte de Peter Greenaway (film britannique, 1987, avec Brian Dennehy et Chloe Webb).

Pour la télévision, entre 1959 et 1999, Sergio Fantoni participe à six téléfilms et vingt-deux séries (dont plusieurs mini-séries, comme La Mafia en 1986 et Charlemagne, le prince à cheval en 1994).

S'illustrant en outre dans le domaine du doublage, il est par exemple la voix italienne de Rock Hudson dans Géant (1956), de Robert Vaughn dans Les Sept Mercenaires (1960), et de Ben Kingsley dans Gandhi (1982).

American couple Mike and Janet Harper (Rod Taylor and Doris Day) move to England for Mike's work, his company which deals in wool textiles and wool fashions. Despite Mike's want for them to live in a flat in the heart of London, Janet, who is not a big city girl, ignores his want and instead finds them a house to rent thirty miles outside of London in Kent, which means that Mike has to commute into town by train. This commute is not ideal for Mike, who often for convenience stays in one of the company's flats in town rather than go home. This commuting situation makes Janet feel even more neglected than she already did previously.
