Antonio Gerardi (born 8 March 1968) is an Italian actor and radio presenter.
Biography Gerardi was born in Potenza, Basilicata, and grew up in the neighboring municipality of Avigliano. At thirteen, he started as a radio presenter for "Radio Sud", a local radio station in Potenza, and joined "Radio Norba" in 1988. Later, he began working for national stations like "RTL 102.5" and "Radio Kiss Kiss". After several years as a reporter for the TV show Le Iene, in 2007 he made his acting debut with Il rabdomante, directed by Fabrizio Cattani, who discovered him after an argument between Gerardi and a driver over a parking space in Trastevere, Rome, thinking Gerardi had the right skills for acting.
Since then, he has worked in many films and television series. He starred in comedies and dramas such as Basilicata Coast to Coast, Qualunquemente, Diaz – Don't Clean Up This Blood, Balancing Act, Io sono Mia, Padrenostro, The Last Paradise, and Last Night of Amore. On television, he appeared mostly in crime and political series; his most notable roles include "Il sardo" in Romanzo criminale – La serie, Stefano Rambelli in La porta rossa, and Antonio Di Pietro in 1992 and its sequels 1993 and 1994. In 2019, he was recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow by Rotary International. In 2020, he started his own web radio, "Good Fellas Music Station", specializing in the soul, funk, and R&B genres.
