Nicolo Pasetti

Nicolo Pasetti (born Nicolò Bernardino Pasetti Bombardella) is a German-Italian actor.

Early life and career

As early as in elementary school Pasetti aspired to become an actor.[1] Although Pasetti's parents asked their son to consider other careers, in case his plan to become an actor failed, Pasetti insisted on pursuing acting without compromise.[2] Therefore, after graduating from high school, Pasetti went on to study drama at the public University of Music and Theatre Leipzig.[3]

Pasetti's first appearance on the screen came in 2015, when he was cast for the feature film Solness, alongside Thomas Sarbacher and André Hennicke. In the years that followed he played various roles in German TV shows and movies such as Rico, Oscar und der Diebstahlstein and Lenin, die Deutschen und der Zarenmord. In 2016 Pasetti played New York's famous mayor Fiorello LaGuardia in director Kai Christiansen's film "Der Traum von der Neuen Welt".

In 2017 Nicolo Pasetti was signed to star in the historical drama The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, directed by Mike Newell as German soldier Christian Hellmann,[4] alongside Hollywood stars such as Lily James and Michiel Huisman.[5][6]

In 2019 Pasetti has been cast as the male lead "Josh" in "The Bitter Taste", an independent mystery thriller directed by Guido Tölke that's set in the 1980s in an unknown, small town somewhere in Germany which harbors a dark secret that can be traced back to an old legend from the Thirty Year War.[7] He also played one of the leads and the police's prime suspect in an episode of the German tv crime series WaPo Bodensee and was cast in the Netflix series "The Queen's Gambit", directed by Scott Frank.[8]
