I understand you speak English, German, French, and Italian.
Since you're over in Europe, and also multi-lingual, I was wondering
if you were familiar with a hot Italian actor named Daniele Liotti?
If so, would you be able to recommend any of his work that is worth
watching? Do you know if he's done anything in English, but Italian is
OK too? I've already seen his Spanish film "Juana la Loca"

Mai visto, mai sentito.
I do watch Rai Uno and Rai Due and Canale Cinque from time to time,
but I've never seen a movie with Daniele Liotti in it. I did a little
Google search, to see what he looks like:

And here, at this link,
http://cinema.supereva.it/interviste/artI983.html
you'll find the following interview, translated by
Google with all Google's customary translator brilliance
- and, who knows, maybe Daniele does actually speak English
like this, heh heh. (Eh si, sono una stronza cattiva, lo so.)
(The word HE is translated as IT, for some reason. He's 32, by the
way,
and originated from Rome.)
"In escape for the truth
Trentadue years, Roman, amatissimo from the children (and also from
the mothers, we say it), Daniel Liotti tries to escape to the destiny
of the unquestionably beautiful actors. A fiction here, a film
d?azione here, some title foreign it, a discreet one succeeding in
Spain but above all a lot wants to d?emergere. After l?exploit of the
carciofi Will grow to Mimongo , the film that has revealed it to the
public in 1995, Liotti have attended for years the jump of quality not
without incursions in the fiction. With those beautiful eyes greens
(remembered Zhivago di Giacomo Campiotti) in effects it is difficult
is made to take seriously. But then a film like fuggiasco of Andrea
Mannas arrives, feature dall?omonimo autobiographic novel of Carlotto
Maximum, former simpatizzante of Continuous Struggle that to 18 years
is found accused of a homicide never store clerk unjustly. A j?accuse
on the evils of the Italian justice, but also ritratto sincere knot
and of the world of the furtiveness that a most valid protagonist sees
in Liotti.
How it has been prepared for the personage?
When I have read the scenario I have understood endured that he would
have been a large one chance, a role that demanded one responsabilita
does not give little. Before the resumptions I have met Maximum
Carlotto and I must say has been much generous one, has helped me to
enter in the personage from the corsia main.
With which be d?animo it has been approached this role?
I was a lot frightened, I knew that it would have been a great
responsibility in the comparisons of Maximum. I had one great fear but
also one enormous happiness, a personage therefore the aspects for all
the life. Up to now, and I say it without controversy, have not been
still in a position to demonstrating of being Bravo to actor. I
repeat, is not a controversy in the comparisons of the directors with
which I have worked before Andrea Mannas.
Which have been the greater difficulties to nell?interpretare
Carlotto?
I have had to work very with l?immaginazione, to think to a boy of 18
years who loses dreams and hopes immediately, forced to cut the
bridges with all, family, amici?E? truly hard state, I have had to
work with much concentration, is on the set that outside, but was
l?unico possible way.
A completely various role from those interprets to you up to now.
Exactly, he is the more complex personage who has never met in my
career. For before the time I have faced a role with love, passion,
sacrifice, effort and much concentration, is engaged me to the maximum
and creed that this is looked at. To the end of a film it is always
difficult to detach itself from the personage.
What has left the fuggiasco them and above all l?incontro with the
true Carlotto?
It has left a lot me difficult, to explain it? still today I do not
succeed to detach some, I feel still a lot to me been involved. The
merit is of Maximum, has been one fortune to have met it: it has hit
to me very many for its dignity and its autoironia, not to take itself
never seriously, but above all the behavior in telling pesonali and
estramente painful things. From the point of professional approval,
then, to interpret Carlotto a lot has arricchiato me, it has made me
to grow from all the points of view and has demanded a great
engagement.
Before turning the film it knew already the Carlotto case? Of it it
had felt to speak or it had read the book?
I had 5 years when it is happened the fact, me memory only what my
father told. Care the books I had read an other novel, the irregular
ones , but c?è be need to read other. It has been enough to me to
watch it in the eyes in order to understand that person was, a man of
great dignity more than a judicial case.
Which has been the more difficult moment of the working?
The end. And? a film that me has gotten passionate a lot, l?ho
followed in all is made, to the assembly, to the postproduction, has
been involved to me tantissimo, is difficult to detach itself some now
also that the film is in knows them. During all the working I have
only thought next to the film: I have a son of 5 years and have had to
imagine not to have it, but above all I have ridato value to the
family leaving to lose the superfluous one.
What c?è between its next engagements, cinema or tv?
I receive many television proposals, but I am trying to escape to this
incasellamento which the actors in Italy are forced. The tv,
unfortunately, it stretches to ingabbiare the actors in a sure type of
role, for hour I am trying to escape to all this. The next January
iniziarò to turn to Turin the war on mountains , tv a movie drawn from
a novel of Kipling. And? directed from Marine Umberto and the next
year will go in wave on Channel 5."

Liotti was a law student and also played football for Rome's youth
team before making the switch to acting. He is well known to Italian
audiences, originally as a regular cast member in the television
series "Operazione Odissea" and subsequently through film roles. He
recently played Saint Antony in the film of his life, "Sant'Antonio di
Padova". He appears with Paul Sorvino and Gerard Depardieu in the
supernatural comedy movie "Streghe Verso Nord", plays the male lead in
the historical romance "Juana la Loca" (aka Mad Love), and in the
tragic "Broken Hearts" is bodyguard to the daughter of a Mafia chief.
Here is an online review of "Juana la Loca". It's pretty accurate.

I posted a few screenshots from the "Juana la Loca" DVD on a website
for you. He is definitely eye-candy.
In it, he's plays Prince Phillip, Archduke of Hapsburg

Chi parla? Una donna ha detto -- e vero?
Google leaves a lot to be desired with it's translation. My challenge
was, even though his films were listed in imdb, there were no reviews
in English or Italian. I don't want to be ordering foreign DVDs
without knowing if they're worth seeing, although "Broken Hearts"
sounds like it might be fun to watch.

I missed the recent airing of "Dr. Zhivago" on PBS, but I plan to see
"Il Fuggiasco" when it comes out on DVD.

It's pretty cold, ...and it's snowing. Our temperatures are hovering
between -5 and 0 centigrade, but the wind chill is making it feel like
-16. they say Wednesday we'll reach a high of +2 degrees. We just had
a winter storm that left a whole bunch of snow which prompted many
Torontonians to say "Wonderful! Now it feels like Christmas". What a
bunch of lunatics!

Sounds good to me. I'm not too fond of shovelling snow.

Please tell me you're joking.

I don't know how to explain it,
but whenever you think a guy is cute,
I'm automatically going to say he's gay!
You would have to be a guy to understand that, and it's no joke.
I was talking to a *very* pretty girl at a night club
and all of a sudden, a girl put a pack of cigarettes
in my shirt pocket.
I went over to the other girl later and told
her, "I was talking to that girl and when you put
those cigarettes in my pocket, your ruined my rap with her.
Now she thinks I'm with you.
Her response was, "She looks like a dog!"
I said, "She looks very pretty, what are you talking about?"
She wasn't joking, so what let her to that conclusion?

It's jealousy.

Jealousy.
Bitchiness.
Insecurity.
By the way, Dama Queen, only two of those freeservers.daniele
links of your website worked, the others just had a little notice
saying that freeservers does not promote links to other websites,
or something - but those two pics of Daniele were cute. Yeah, he's
cute, Starmaker, and Drama Queen likes him.
But we like you too, Starmaker, sometimes.

They have nightclubs with outside patios in the back where people smoke.
It has a bar, it just doesn't have a roof.

Yeah, Freeservers can be annoying sometimes.
Here try this link instead. It should fix the problem.

Yes, things are very boring around here.
