Biography and career
Born in Messina, Frassica is mostly known for his deadpan humour. He debuted for Italian television with Renzo Arbore's Quelli della notte (1985), in which he played a semi-illiterate friar. Later, again in collaboration with Arbore, he was given a major role in the surreal quiz show Indietro tutta! (1987).
Frassica has subsequently featured in numerous comic movies, such as Il Bi e il Ba (1986),[1] and TV shows for Italian television. He plays Marshal Antonio "Nino" Cecchini on the Italian TV series Don Matteo.[2]
