Cesare Polacco (14 May 1900 – 2 March 1986) was an Italian actor and voice actor.
Life and career[edit]
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]
