Heavily influenced by his idol, Elvis Presley , and the 1950s rock revolution, he is also known as the most famous dancer of the Hula Hoop Fad . For the last 40 years he has retained his popularity in Italy, selling millions of records and appearing in numerous TV shows and movies. In the latter respect, he has also been a creator of a comic genre, with his characteristic walking and his facial expressions. For the most part, his films were commercially successful, in fact in the 1970s and part of the 1980s, he was the king of the Italian box office in low budget movies. As an actor, critics point to ''Serafino'' (1968), directed by Pietro Germi , as his best effort. As a director he frequently casts Ornella Muti , Eleonora Giorgi and his wife Claudia Mori .
