Leopoldo Trieste

I like how everyone loved Leopoldo's facial expressions as Ivan in "Lo Sciecco Bianco." I thought he looked really familiar, so when I IMDBed (I'll use it as a verb if I want!) him, I realized he was in one of my favorite films, Cinema Paradiso, as the priest. In this film, he played a priest that often edited risque' material out of films for the town theater. He also had very memorable facial expressions as he saw risque' (even just kissing) parts he thought needed editing.

Also, he was Signor Roberto in The Godfather: Part II.

Looking at his list of works makes me want to find/watch some more films including Leopoldo Trieste.
