Born in 1899, Tino Erler, who graduated in geometry, finally became a stage, film and radio actor. On the boards, he was a member of Max Reinhardt's Company in Venice and of Mario Mattoli's Compagnia Za-bum. He was also a very active radio actor (for EIAR, RAI and, in Switzerland, Lugano-based radio station) and dubber. As a film performer, his career was less impressive, only nine films from 1932 to 1945, eight in Italy and one in Switzerland, The Last Chance (1945), the classic war film, in which he played a fascist informer. It was also his swan song on the big screen. Tino Erler died in 1968.
