About Walter Nudo

Walter Nudo was born in Montreal (Canada) on June 2, 1970. He's the son of immigrants and his first steps are taken on the outskirts of the big city, in those areas well described by De Niro with all the difficulties that assimilation bring on. In 1980 he moved to Genoa, Italy with his family. In 1994 he received a call from M. Costanzo to take part in the "Maurizio Costanzo Show". He becomes a regular guest everyday for eight months. This is the starting point for his first jobs in Italy: TV and film.Once again, another bet changes the course of his life. While having dinner at a friend's house, someone challenges him: "You're tall and big but you'll never have the courage to jump into the ring!" Two months later he's already in the ring. He fights with a boxer who already has 45 matches to his credit, their match ends in a tie. From '96 to '97 he faces ten matches in the Heavyweight and Super heavyweight categories. He wins the regional and interregional championship. In the meantime his first child, Elvis is born.But while he's training for the Italian Championships, a phone call gives another dramatic change in the direction of his life. He gets called to host a television program: "Love at first sight" For two years, running around several Italian cities, he interviews young people he meets on the street. The show is a hit! His enthusiasm, his good nature, and his boyish clean cut look meet the approval of not only the younger audience but the older public as well. His second son, Martin is born.Things come to a dead halt. He goes into a crisis with himself. TV isn't enough for him anymore. Walter knows that the only thing that can shake him up and save him is doing sports. Boxing. Then he gets back in the ring to fight but the first match is suspended because of a head banging ... by now he's almost thirty years old and supporting a family. These are the most difficult years which include a lot of financial hardships, but his sense of responsibility keeps him going and he finds a job as a sales rep for natural products, in particular Aloe vera.. Hard times that force him to question everything, above all himself, his dreams get frozen.He goes back to school and attends the "Duse" in Rome in 2000, studying under Francesca De Sapio and the "International Acting School " of Dominique De Fazio.

Walter begins to run: step by step, day by day, the marathon gives him strength and a new sense of self-esteem. He has a new goal: The New York Marathon.Only a year has gone by since that tragic September 11th and Walter, who went there to regain his sense of self-esteem; finds a lot more: people from different cultures, religions and skin color, united under a single flag, the American one. The land of opportunity, of freedom and of respect for human beings and the affection of a big heart beating through the streets of Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan... Walter not only finishes the Marathon (despite a fall which injured three tendons in his left foot two weeks before the race) but he manages to finish it in 3 hours and 52 minutes. A great victory for himself! On that November 3rd 2002, things start turning upward for him!Then a film with Richard Harris follows: "Saint John the Apocalypse" He feels ready to go back to boxing again, but in 2003 a production company offers him a role in an Italian soap opera, "A place in the sun".
