Lello Arena (born 1 November 1953) is an Italian actor, comedian and television personality.
Life and career
Born in Naples as Raffaello Arena, he was the son of two workers in a tobacco factory.[1] In 1969, at a very young age, Arena formed the cabaret ensamble "La Smorfia" together with Massimo Troisi and Enzo De Caro.[2] In 1978 and 1979, the group appeared in two RAI variety shows (Non stop and Luna Park) obtaining a great success.[2][3] The group disbanded in 1980 and for some time Arena kept on collaborating with his friend Troisi, starring in his three first films.[2][3] He won a David di Donatello for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Troisi's Scusate il ritardo.[4]
Later Arena focused his career on television, appearing in a large number of variety shows; he occasionally came back to cinema, even making his debut as a director in 1989 with Chiari di luna. He is also active on stage.[2][3]
Arena also worked as a comics scriptwriter, notably for Lupo Alberto and Topolino.[3]
