JTB Bud Spencer and Terence Hill Movies (Action/Comedy/Western)
In 1967 film director Giuseppe Colizzi (Ace High and Boot Hill) offered Carlo Pedersoli (Bud Spencer) a role in God Forgives, I Don't!. On the set Pedersoli met another unknown young actor, Mario Girotti (Terence Hill). Girotti was discovered by Italian filmmaker Dino Risi (Scent of a Woman and Il Sorpasso) at a swimming meet at the age of 12, and became a child actor, appearing in Holiday with the Gangster. His early roles also included The Abandoned.
Although Pedersoli had met Girotti before on the set of Hannibal in 1959, this was the moment they went on to become a film duo.
Colizzi asked the two actors to change their names, deeming them to be too Italian-sounding for a Western movie.
Pedersoli chose Bud Spencer, with Bud inspired by Budweiser beer and Spencer by the actor Spencer Tracy.
Girotti changed his name to Terence Hill, a name made up by the film producers. He had to choose from a list of twenty names and picked the one with his mother's initials. There is a persistent rumour that he took his last name, "Hill", from his wife's maiden name, but this is incorrect for it was Zwicklbauer.
While Hill's characters were agile and youthful, Spencer always played the "phlegmatic, grumpy strong-arm man with a blessed, naive child's laughter and a golden heart".
