Biography


Born in Rome, Gemma first worked as a stuntman, then was offered real acting parts by director Duccio Tessari, starting with the film Arrivano i titani (1962). He also made an appearance in Luchino Visconti's Il Gattopardo as Garibaldi's General. Gemma later went on to star in spaghetti westerns in films such as A Pistol for Ringo (Una pistola per Ringo),[1]Blood for a Silver Dollar[2] (Un dollaro bucato), Wanted[3] and Day of Anger (I giorni dell'ira). He was sometimes credited as Montgomery Wood.[1] Giuliano Gemma's career survived the demise of the genre, and he remained active on Italian television.


Gemma played in a variety of movies, including art-house offerings such as Valerio Zurlini's The Desert of the Tartars[1] (Il deserto dei tartari) in 1976. The same year, Gemma won a David di Donatello, the Italian equivalent of the Oscar, for his portrayal of Major Matiss in The Desert of Tartars.[1]


Gemma also starred in a web comic named "Man Born Again" (2012) by Eclypsed Word.[4]


His daughter, Vera Gemma, is also an actress. Giuliano Gemma also worked as a sculptor.


On 1 October 2013, Gemma died following a car accident near Rome. He was taken to a hospital in Civitavecchia and pronounced dead shortly after his arrival. Two other passengers, a man and his son, were also injured in the accident.[5]
