Pier Paolo Capponi (9 June 1938 – 15 February 2018)[1] was an Italian actor and screenwriter.

## Life and career[edit]

Born in Subiaco,[2] after his studies Capponi attended a theater school and later was chosen by director Vittorio De Seta for an important role in Un uomo a metà.[3] His film career was divided equally between auteur films (with, among others, Paolo e Vittorio Taviani, Valerio Zurlini, Gérard Corbiau, Francesco Rosi and Nelo Risi) and genre films, in which he was sometimes credited as Norman Clark.[3] On the big screen with some regularity for a decade, after 1977 Capponi focused his appearances on TV series and on stage.[3]
