Because of his job he often realizes he has not enough time for himself and when he is between jobs he loves reading and passing time with his family and friends. He loves collecting wood-carved sculptures , especially ethnic ones , and candles , which you you can always find in his home. At first contact Raoul could be seen as a bit peevish , but actually his reserved nature proves out to be the source of his charm. He fascinates just because he is so enigmatic. He is “beautiful from wherever you see him” and clever at making the most of his looks on the screen.
The directors and colleagues he has had the opportunity to work with, unanimously agree that his best gift is that of making his masculinity simple.

Sbirri - Action Movie
SYNOPSIS “ SBIRRI” “Sbirri”, Italian slang for the police, is the story of a well-known TV journalist who after the death of his son through ecstasy, decides to follow the drug squad in their fight against drug trafficking in Milan. The film takes us on his “real” journey in the world of drugs and his desperate search to find a valid reason, someone to blame for his son’s pointless death and at the same time, for his sense of inadequacy as a parent. It’s a journey in this incredible underworld where people from all social classes and thousands of young people are being constantly entrapped and where unknown heroes every day put their lives at risk in their battle against crime. All that is shown in the film is true. The main actor has for some time lived and shared the experiences of the members of the drug squad. All the arrests, the interrogations are authentic and filmed live.
The power of “Sbirri” is in its innovative style which somehow amalgamates fiction and reality in such a way that the audience participates in an “instructive” experience with a very strong emotive impact.
