Started acting in Italian comedy series in the 1970s. and soon received recognition as the heir to the traditions of the great Italian comedian Toto. Outside Italy, Benigni's eccentric persona became famous after he starred with Jim Jarmusch in the art-house projects Outlaw (1986) and Night on Earth (1991) .
His eccentricities attracted even more attention in 1997, when Benigni's tragicomedy Life is Beautiful won the Grand Prix in Cannes. The actor, prone to extravagant antics, fell to his knees in front of the award-winning Martin Scorsese and kissed his hand. The film was nominated for several Academy Awards and earned Benigni this prestigious Best Actor Award. After the Oscar and Cannes triumphs, it was exaggerated for a long time what Benigni would do next. In 2002, Pinocchio was finally released, conceived by Benigni together with the late Federico Fellini. Despite the huge budget by European standards, "Pinocchio" turned into a huge failure and was nominated for "Golden Raspberry" as the worst film of the year.
