# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born Mario Girotti on 29 March 1939, he started as a child actor before reinventing himself as Terence Hill. The 1970 comedy Western They Call Me Trinity made him a star; its 1971 sequel became the highest-grossing Italian film to that point. He rode the genre through My Name Is Nobody in 1973, sharing the screen with Henry Fonda, often adapting Karl May's frontier novels and becoming one of Italy's highest-paid actors in the process. The partnership with Bud Spencer defined an era of action-comedy hybrids. Decades later he pivoted to television, playing the title priest in Don Matteo on Rai 1 from 2000 to 2022, a run that made him a fixture in Italian homes well into his eighties.
