Renato Pozzetto (born 14 July 1940) is an Italian actor, director, comedian, and singer. [1]
Pozzetto was born into a working-class family from Milan and grew up in the town of Gemonio (in the Province of Varese). [2] After graduation, he made his debut as a comedian at the Derby Club in Milan. [3] In 1964, he and his childhood friend Cochi Ponzoni formed the duo Cochi e Renato. [4] They recorded several successful songs, often written in collaboration with Enzo Jannacci. [5] These songs often had a satirical and/or nonsense take. Their most popular hits include "La canzone intelligente" ("The intelligent song", a satire about songwriting) and "E la vita, la vita". From the mid-1970s through the first half of the 1990s, Pozzetto enjoyed a prolific career in film, where he became famous for his trademark pronounced Milanese accent and for his shy and stuttering way of speaking. In the mid-2000s, following almost two decades of separation, he reunited with Ponzoni. [6]
Pozzetto has also lent his voice to Rocks, the dog protagonist of the movie Look Who's Talking Now, for the Italian dubbing.
