Oscar Andriani (28 December 1905 – 17 July 1987) was an Italian actor and playwright. He appeared in more than fifty films from 1937 to 1969.

Life and career

Born in Brescia, Andriani made his stage debut at 17 years old in the theatrical company of Amedeo Chiantoni [it], and later worked with other important companies of the time, such the ones led by Emma Gramatica, Wanda Capodaglio and Annibale Ninchi. He had a prolific career as a character film actor, often appearing alongside his real life friend Amedeo Nazzari. He also was a playwright, whose works (often published under pseudonyms) were staged by prominent companies, such as the Giovanni Grasso's, Carlo Veneziani's and Tino Scotti's ones. He wrote the script of the partially autobiographical film World of Miracles, directed in 1959 by Luigi Capuano.
