Biography
Antonio Gerardi was born in Potenza, Basilicata, and grew up in the neighboring municipality of Avigliano. At thirteen he started as a radio presenter for "Radio Sud", a local radio in Potenza, and joined "Radio Norba" in 1988. Later he began working for national stations like "RTL 102.5" and "Radio Kiss Kiss". After a year as a reporter for the TV show Le Iene, in 2007 he made his acting debut with Il rabdomante, directed by Fabrizio Cattani, who discovered him after an argument between Gerardi and a driver for a parking lot in Trastevere, Rome, thinking Gerardi had the right skills for acting.

Since then, he has worked for many films and television series. He starred in comedies and dramas such as Basilicata coast to coast, Qualunquemente, Diaz – Don't Clean Up This Blood, Balancing Act, Io sono Mia, Padrenostro, The Last Paradise, and Last Night of Amore. On television he appeared mostly in crime and political series; his most notable roles include "Il sardo" in Romanzo criminale – La serie and Antonio Di Pietro in 1992 and its sequels 1993 and 1994. In 2020 he started his own web radio "Good Fellas Music Station", specialized in soul, funk and R&B genres.
