Michele Riondino expresses interest in playing Commissario Montalbano

Actor Michele Riondino has expressed his willingness to take on the role of Commissario Montalbano in future productions. While no new episodes or casting changes have been officially announced, Riondino stated that he would not refuse the opportunity if proposed, suggesting he could portray an older version of the character.

Riondino, who previously played the younger version of the investigator in the prequel series ‘Il giovane Montalbano’, noted that he holds great respect for Luca Zingaretti, who has portrayed the character for over twenty years. He emphasized that any transition would aim for total continuity with the established interpretation of the character created by author Andrea Camilleri.
