Massimiliano Caiazzo: “Superhero forever”

When he was asked as a child what he wanted to do when he grew up, Massimiliano Caiazzo he had no doubts: he wanted to become a superhero. “I think that’s why, in the end, I did this job: the actor is the one who comes closest to those who have superpowers”, says Massimiliano on the phone, engaged in the filming of a film set in Naples of which he does not can anticipate anything except that his character will be very different from that of Carmine Di Salvo, the role that earned him popularity in the first two seasons of Sea Out. A strong and intense role to which Caiazzo gave all of himself and which allowed him to dig deep to bring out conflicting feelings such as revenge, anger, pain and resignation.

How do you feel when you see yourself acting?
“It is never what I expect it to be, it gives me an alienating effect. In general, I don’t like seeing myself again because on stage you live it in a way and you have perceptions that, in retrospect, can change ».

In the second season of Sea Out he faced several complex scenes: how did you work to bring out Carmine’s pain?
“I worked on his dreams and hopes and wondered what might have happened if he no longer had what inspired him. I was interested in being able to give the viewer a change in the character by constructing him scene after scene ».

What inspires you?
“Every day there is something different that opens up to me. Sometimes I walk down the street and see something that touches me, other times it’s a dream I have: it’s never the same thing. As a good obsessive paranoid, however, I made peace with the fact that certain things do not have a formula ».

Do you think too much?
“A bang: it’s my sentence and my luck. I don’t enjoy things fully but, at the same time, I manage to enjoy myself in what I do ».

Was it always so rational?
“I have moments of strong rationality, but there was a period in which instinct prevailed a lot. Now I am guided by a strong need for freedom of expression ».

I read that as a child it was an earthquake.
«I was very restless, something I kept for a long time: until I was 16 I continued to play in my bedroom. I took a cartoon or a film that I particularly liked and I spent the hours reproducing and modifying the scenes where I thought it necessary ».

As a director?
“More like an actor. In any case, it was I who moved left and right to shoot energy waves like a superhero ».

What superpower did you dream of owning?
“I do not know. I remember, however, the first time I saw the first Spider-Man at the cinema and how thunderstruck I was: at the time I did not know that there was a profession like that of the actor, and I remember asking my mother how to shoot the cobwebs. She replied that it was for the special effects, which the scientists did. A world opened up to me ».

So would you like to play a superhero one day?
“Perhaps”.

Marvel or DC?
“Marvel. Love Spider-Man e Doctor Strange».

Fortunately, there are a few Italian superheroes now.
“I’m delighted with what’s happening. Freaks Out, Check Robot e Diabolik they show incredible productive courage ».

When did you start thinking about being an actor seriously?
“Very late. When I was 10 my mother took me to a theater school because she hoped that instead of breaking her house, I could channel my imagination into something productive, but I couldn’t resist. Seven years later, I met Gianfelice Imparato who directed me to a course in Castellamare and there I fell in love ».
