Luca Barbareschi (born July 28, 1956 in Montevideo, Uruguay) is an Italian-Uruguayan actor, television presenter and politician, member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies. He was one of four actors whom the Italian police believed had been murdered in the making of the 1980 horror film Cannibal Holocaust. So realistic was the film that was shortly after it was released its director Ruggero Deodato was arrested for the murder. The actors had signed contracts to stay out of the media for a year in order to fuel rumors that the film was a snuff movie. The court was only convinced that they were alive when the contracts were cancelled and the actors appeared on a television show as proof.

  • Nel 1980 recita nel capolavoro di Ruggero Deodato Cannibal Holocaust, la storia di quattro giornalisti di Studio Aperto a corto di notizie che decidono di inscenare una carneficina in Amazzonia e finiscono sbranati dai venditori di paccottiglia locali. Nel film prende parte ad alcune scene piuttosto controverse: appare nudo, mutila una tartaruga e spara a un maialino. Che orrore, mostrarsi nudo davanti alle telecamere!

  • Luca Barbareschi (born July 28, 1956 in Montevideo, Uruguay) is an Italian-Uruguayan actor, television presenter and politician, member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies. He was one of four actors whom the Italian police believed had been murdered in the making of the 1980 horror film Cannibal Holocaust. So realistic was the film that was shortly after it was released its director Ruggero Deodato was arrested for the murder. The actors had signed contracts to stay out of the media for a year in order to fuel rumors that the film was a snuff movie. The court was only convinced that they were alive when the contracts were cancelled and the actors appeared on a television show as proof. In 1992, he hosted the shot-lived American game show That's Amore. In 2001, he hosted a short-lived Italian version of Greed for Rai 2. In 2008, he was elected as member of the Italian Parliament at the Chamber of Deputies with Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right party People of Freedom. In 2010, he joined with other 32 deputies and 10 senators, the Gianfranco Fini's new Party "Future and Freedom for Italy". In 2012, he made a great stir when he knocked out an Italian journalist who was asking about his absence from sessions of parliament.
  • Nel 1980 recita nel capolavoro di Ruggero Deodato Cannibal Holocaust, la storia di quattro giornalisti di Studio Aperto a corto di notizie che decidono di inscenare una carneficina in Amazzonia e finiscono sbranati dai venditori di paccottiglia locali. Nel film prende parte ad alcune scene piuttosto controverse: appare nudo, mutila una tartaruga e spara a un maialino. Che orrore, mostrarsi nudo davanti alle telecamere! Gli animali vengono davvero uccisi durante le riprese, e ciò scatena le ire degli animalisti. Il fatto che l'unico animale scampato alla morte sia proprio Luca Barbareschi scatena invece le ire di tutti gli spettatori. La sua carriera prosegue con alterne fortune. Ottiene un grande successo con il programma Il Grande Bluff, nel quale si diverte a rompere i coglioni ai colleghi presentatori invadendo le loro trasmissioni nella veste di ospite sconosciuto. Per rendere il tutto più efficace Barbareschi dovrebbe ricorrere a una serie di maschere e camuffamenti, ma lascia perdere quando si accorge che tanto non viene riconosciuto nemmeno mostrandosi con la sua faccia. Nel 2002 gira Il Trasformista, film altamente autobiografico incentrato attorno alle vicende di un ambientalista che si batte contro la costruzione di una discarica abusiva. Gli faranno cambiare idea un cospicuo versamento sul suo conto corrente e una procace viceministra (una superba Alessandra Mussolini, peraltro impegnata nel doppio ruolo di viceministra/discarica abusiva). L'autorevole Dizionario delle Boiate di Morando Morandini lo recensisce così: Nel 2005 partecipa a Nebbie e delitti, nei panni di un commissario chiamato a far luce su un caso inquietante: la sparizione del proprio ombelico. La serie però viene interrotta alla settima puntata con l'accusa di plagio, quando il poliziotto interpretato da Barbareschi, pazzo di gioia dopo aver risolto un cruciverba iniziato nel 1994, esclama: «Montalbano sono!»
