Massimo Troisi ( 19 February 1953 – 4 June 1994 ) was an Italian actor, film director, and poet.

Scusate il ritardo, similar to the preceding one, was released in 1983, and Massimo Troisi did have as co-starring Giuliana De Sio.

Although James Dean, Spencer Tracy, and Massimo Troisi were also posthumously nominated for a Best Actor Oscar, Peter Finch was the first actor to have won the award posthumously, as well as the first Australian actor to win a Best Actor award.

The massive international success of the film ( for many years it was the largest grossing non-English language film ever made ) led to international acclaim for Radford and the star of the film Massimo Troisi.

Tragically Troisi died, aged 41, the day after the filming of Il Postino was completed.

Troisi started his artistic career as a cabaret showman in 1972, as a member of the comic trio called " I Saraceni " (" The Saracens ") and, later, " La Smorfia " ( from the name of the " book of the numbers " traditionally used in Naples for lottery and tombola, but also meaning " the face ", as in " to make a face ").

In 1984, he played in Non ci resta che piangere (" Nothing left to do but cry ") with the very popular comic actor Massimo Troisi.

The early death of his mother condemned Troisi to a harsh period of activity, which is said to have had a role in the development of his increasingly serious heart problems which were brought on during his teenage years from bouts of rheumatic fever.

Troisi soon gained the status of leader of the trio.

Troisi wrote, directed, and starred in his first film, Ricomincio da tre (" I Start Over from Three ") in 1981.

Troisi starred opposite Roberto Benigni in Non ci resta che piangere ( 1985 ), in which they play two friends who are accidentally transported back in time to the 15th century ; there they meet Leonardo da Vinci and, upon realising which age they are in, travel to Spain to try to stop Christopher Columbus from discovering the Americas.

After some small acting roles, in 1987 Troisi directed Le vie del Signore sono finite, set during the Fascist era.

Troisi came to international fame through the success of Il Postino, directed by Michael Radford.

Troisi died in 1994 of a heart attack in his sister's house in Ostia ( Rome ) twelve hours after the main filming on Il Postino had finished.
