Life and career

Born in Turin, Ardisson debuted in a minor role in Mauro Bolognini's 1959 film Arrangiatevi!.[1][2] After several secondary roles in sword-and-sandal and adventure films, he gained a huge success playing Agent 3S3 in the eurospy films Agent 3S3: Passport to Hell and Agent 3S3, Massacre in the Sun.[2] According to director Sergio Sollima he was chosen for this role thanks to his physical appearance that made him credible as American.[3]

Later Ardisson starred in several more spy films and spanned different genres, including spaghetti western and Italo-horror films.

gollark: For the players on now, just `^A`, actually.
gollark: Though I could get away with a much simpler one for just the players on right now, hmm.
gollark: I'm pretty sure my regex matches only Ale32bit or AlexDevs *out of the players here*.
gollark: LIES!
