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, where he enjoyed great success playing the hero in films such as A Pistol for Ringo (Una pistola per Ringo), Blood for a Silver Dollar (Un dollaro bucato) and Day of Anger (I giorni dell'ira). He was sometimes credited as Montgomery Wood. Giuliano Gemma's career survived the demise of the genre, and he is still active today on Italian television. Gemma has played in a variety of movies, including art-house offerings such as Valerio Zurlini's Desert of Tartars (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 Desert of Tartars.[1] Gemma is also starring in a web comic named "Man Born Again" (2012) by Eclypsed Word.[2] His daughter, Vera Gemma, is also an actress. Giuliano Gemma also works as a sculptor.

Trivia

In the chapter 79 of the manga School Rumble he was compared to Masakazu Tg due to Tg's habit of putting Italian words in his sentences. In episode 9 of the anime Black Lagoon he's mentioned by the character Dutch during a shoot-out in a bar.
