Back to Sicily, he made his film debut playing lead role in the independent feature film ''Libera Me'' (2015), a psycho-drama with thriller nuances about domestic violence, awarded at Los Angeles Cine Fest and selected in numerous film festivals around the world.
Recently, he took part in a few film projects in New York, including an action movie called ''Jack Kunn'' where he played one of the leads. Currently, he is working on a web series between Usa and Italy where he plays lead character, and will soon play a main role in a new feature film directed by Carlo Fusco.
