Perspective
Born in 1973 in Rome, and the son of a convicted criminal, he grew up in the outskirts of Tor Cervara, where from a young age he was involved in petty crime, leading to an eight-year prison sentence.[2] After his prison experience, he decided to focus on social activism to revitalize the suburbs through the "Casale Caletto" neighborhood committee, of which he became president.[3] Noticed by actor Alessandro Borghi, with whom he started a friendship, he was introduced to the world of entertainment, initially as a location scout for film shoots in the Roman suburbs, and later as an actor in minor roles.[3]
In 2016, Frezza made his debut as a leading actor in I Was a Dreamer, directed by Michele Vannucci. The film, which tells Frezza's story from his experience in prison to social redemption, was well received by critics.[2][4]
In 2018, he was part of the cast of Reckless by Marco Ponti, Dogman by Matteo Garrone, and As Needed by Francesco Falaschi.[2] That same year, Frezza took part at the Rai 2 television show Pechino Express, but had to withdraw due to an injury.[5] In 2023, he portrayed the titular character in the drama film Goliath.[6]
Since 2016, he has played the character of Furio Lattanzi in the main cast of the crime series Rocco Schiavone.[7]
