At thirteen he started as a radio presenter for "Radio Sud", a local radio in Potenza, and joined "Radio Norba" in 1988. [1] Later he began working for national stations like "RTL 102.5" and "Radio Kiss Kiss". After a year 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 for a parking lot in Trastevere, Rome, thinking Gerardi had the right skills for acting. [2]

Since then, he has worked for 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 and Antonio Di Pietro in 1992 and its sequels 1993 and 1994 . In 2020 he started his own web radio "Good Fellas Music Station", specialized in soul, funk and R&B genres. [3]
