Is the actor who plays Bernardo alongside Jean Dujardin really deaf and mute?

After being put online on the Paramount+ streaming platform, the Zorro series with Jean Dujardin under the mask of the vigilante is finally arriving on France 2! Monday December 23, 2024 from 9:10 p.m., viewers will be able to see a new version of the legend of this hero…

Zorro and Bernardo are back

Here, we discover the valiant defender of the oppressed as we have never seen him. Now a middle-aged man, the city's Don Diego de la Vega put away his cloak and sword years ago and is now going through an existential crisis.

Insecure, criticized and mocked by everyone, the Los Angeles notable is the opposite of what he once was. Faced with a case of force majeure, Diego is forced to put on his old black suit again…

Jean Dujardin is having the time of his life in this project headed by Benjamin Charbit and Noé Debré! On screen, we watch alongside him in the main cast Audrey Dana, who plays Gabriella, Zorro's wife. André Dussollier plays Diego's father.

Is Salvatore Ficarra deaf and mute?

Grégory Gadebois plays the role of Sergeant Garcia, one of Zorro's greatest enemies. Eric Elmosnino lends his features to Don Emmanuel, the big bad guy of this fiction. Salvatore Ficarra, finally, plays Bernardo, the faithful deaf and mute ally of our vigilante.

But in fact, does the actor who brings Zorro's servant to life suffer from the same handicap as his character? Is Salvatore Ficarra also deaf and mute? The answer is no! The main person concerned is a star of humor in his country, in Italy, forming with Valentino Picone the comic duo Ficarra et Picone since 1993.

Over the years, Salvatore Ficarra has distinguished himself on stage, in entertainment, in cinema (Santocielo, 2023), but also in series with his sidekick for over thirty years. On Netflix, we can see them in Stuck! (two seasons of six episodes each) where they become two TV technicians who come across a crime scene and then get into trouble…

In France, we find him in Zorro on France 2 with Jean Dujardin, from Monday December 23, 2024 at 9:10 p.m.
