Biography

With an international background shaped by life across several countries and studies in some of Europe's leading drama schools, Fabrizio Orazzini is noted for portraying emotionally complex and morally nuanced characters, while also showing versatility in lighter, comedic roles. Born in São Paulo, Brazil, to Italian parents with predominantly Tuscan origins, Fabrizio has lived not only in his native state and his parents' homeland, but also in the United States, Spain, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and France. His acting training has taken him across multiple nations: in London, he built his foundations at RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art), the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, City Lit, and City Academy; in Paris, he deepened his craft at the Bilingual Acting Workshop (now The Acting Ensemble), originally founded in New York, and at PJV Studio with solo tutor Peter Vickers (RADA); in Dublin, he further developed his skills at the Gaiety School of Acting, the National Theatre School of Ireland; and he refined his technique at the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia, Italy's National Film School. Often cast in psychologically charged stories, he is known for interpreting multilayered characters, allowing their vulnerability, inner volatility, and ethical ambiguity to unfold throughout the narrative. This includes playing the protagonist in "Una Famiglia" - in competition at the David di Donatello Awards 2022 - "144000", and "Missing Alma", bringing depth and subtlety to men marked by loss, obsession, or sudden, life-altering turns. While many of his performances carry a surreal undertone, his range also extends as an experienced comedic actor, often infusing humour through physical reactions, timing, and the interplay with other characters, as in "Marriage Scam" and "Torno Subito". Open-minded, charismatic, and present in the moment, he approaches each role with natural authenticity across genres. Passionate and energetic, drawing on his diverse life experience and artistic formation, he works in both English and Italian, with a baritone voice and a screen age slightly younger than his real one.
