Life and career
Life and career
Born in Florence, at a young age Hendel worked in several jobs, including gamekeeper, guardian of a garage and detective. He debuted as a comedian in early 1980s, as the sidekick of David Riondino. Shorty later he began an intense theatrical activity as author and actor of comic monologues, characterized by a satirical and surreal style. Hendel started appearing on television in 1985. He gained popularity in 1996 with the Italia 1 variety show Mai dire Gol. There he created the successful character of "Carcarlo Pravettoni" a cynical capitalist who was candidate for mayor of Milan.
