Biography[edit]
Fiorini was born in Italy. After World War II, he went to Québec, Canada with his mother to live there with his grandparents. He studied theoretical physics and aeronautical engineering but eventually decided to become an actor instead. After studying at the National Theatre School of Canada and working on stage in Canada and in London, Fiorini went to his country of birth to try his hand at Italian films. He lived for several years in Italy where he appeared in genre films, sometimes using aliases such as Ludovico Svengali, Matt Silence, Mark Farran and Ashborn Hamilton Jr. In 1969, while playing the main villain in the Spaghetti Western The Reward's Yours... The Man's Mine, he met expatriate American actress Lisa Seagram, whom he later married.[3]
Fiorini later relocated to North America where he worked as a character actor. After a hiatus from the screen, he resumed his career in the late 1990s. He has returned to Italy numerous times to work in local productions. He played the Werewolf Syndicate Leader in the Canadian television series Big Wolf on Campus (1999-2002) and Cardinal Baggia in Angels & Demons (2009).
