Giovanni Frezza(I)
- Actor
Giovanni Frezza was a cute blue-eyed and blonde-haired child actor who
popped up in a handful of enjoyably gruesome Italian horror pictures
made in the early to mid-1980's. Giovanni was born on September 8, 1972 in
Potenza, Italy. He made his film debut in A Leap in the Dark (1980). Best
known for his substantial starring role as the imperiled Bob Boyle in
Lucio Fulci's supremely creepy The House by the Cemetery (1981), Frezza's
other memorable movie parts include archaeologist Christopher Connelly's son Tommy Hacker in the dreary Manhattan Baby (1982), a spunky
inventor and mechanic in the entertainingly trashy post-nuke sci-fi
action item Warriors of the Wasteland (1983), and a persecuted little boy in the
nifty giallo murder mystery thriller A Blade in the Dark (1983). Giovanni's
final film appearance was in a small uncredited part at the very end of
Lamberto Bava's outrageously gory Demons (1985). Frezza has a black belt in
Kung Fu and a degree in Physics. He's the happily married father of
three children. Giovanni lives in Chicago, Illinois and works as a marketing
manager for an electronics company.
