    My big Bud! hide show

    I love Bud Spencer since my childhood. He was my good giant, quite often with Terence Hill, the athletic and good looking one.
    Bud Spencer, with his beard and really big body looks like a nice bear, roaring all the time but never biting and always nice with kids!
    He was my Big Hero!
    The character that i prefer is "Bambino" from the "Trinity" movies...the Devil's left hand!I LOVE that movie!
    He's a great actor, a bit underestimated, in my opinion. Also in Italy, his country, we give him credits for his work late in the years...but that's, of course, is only my opinion! But i know i'm right!
