Life and career

Born in Venice, Polacco started his career in 1920 in the stage company of Emilio Zago, with whom he played most of the Goldoni's repertoire.[1] In 1928 he moved to Rome, where in addition to theatre he started appearing in films and working as a dubber.[1] Being of Jewish origin, he was temporarily forced to abandon acting because of the 1938 Fascist racial laws, resuming his activities at the end of the war, in 1945.[1] Also active on radio and television, he got a large popularity thanks to the Inspector Rock character he played in Carosello, in a series of giallo-comedy shorts aired between 1957 and 1968.[1][2]

gollark: See, you have to have the perfect balance of hating humans enough that it wants to spend its entire existence beating them at a mostly meaningless game, and being incompetent and underpowered enough that it won't become sentient and wipe out humanity.
gollark: I doubt it. Anyway, I'm busy working on the AI code.
