Don Matteo, Terence Hill did not want to leave: his truth – RB
A few more months to the start of the thirteenth edition of Don Matteo , the successful TV series broadcast on Rai 1. The beginning is in fact expected in the month of March, when the Thursday night series will take the place of Doc-Nelle Tue Mani , the medical drama starring Luca Argentero.
Waiting for the viewers who love the historic Rai 1 event, however, there will be a bitter surprise, now unveiled for some time: Terence Hill will play the role of the investigating parish priest, but only up to the fourth episode. Don Matteo, in fact, will leave the Church of Sant’Eufemia in Spoleto and in his place will make his entrance Raoul Bova .
Terence Hill and Don Matteo: the reasons for abandonment
The actor 82 year old Mario Girotti, aka Terence Hill, clarified the story, explaining the reasons that led Rai to this choice . The actor has in fact dressed in the role of Don Matteo for almost twenty years, becoming the well-known face of the series that we all know by now.
I left Don Matteo not because I wanted to leave him. I wanted to ask for a change, that is to do 4 episodes a year, like Montalbano, instead of 10, 12 or 16. I thought, in the meantime we are very far ahead, there is a danger that we will go down a little. Then it takes me 9 months each time to make Don Matteo. I thought it was right to make 4 beautiful episodes but they told me that Rai and Lux need money and with four episodes they did not have a sufficient return and therefore they are producing 10 movie. I did 4 myself and Raoul Bova finishes the others. He’s a great actor, they’ll do just fine.
It therefore seems that the cause of Rai’s decision was Hill’s request to decrease the episodes, in order to release a new series every year. This is because most likely the actor is no longer able to cope with the great commitment expected on the set. However, the request was not accepted by Rai and by Lux Vide , the company that produces Don Matteo (and also Doc – Nelle Tue Mani ) led by Luca Bernabei and this for economic reasons.
Career and professional future beyond Don Matteo
However, the decision to leave the set does not seem to have cracked the relationship between Terence Hill and Lux Vide. The actor has declared that he still has a deep esteem for Rai and the manufacturer and Lux Vide seems to have other projects planned for him, including a Christmas film and a western .
The success of Terence Hill is mainly linked to some spaghetti – western titles shot together with Bud Spencer such as They Call Me Trinity… and the sequel … they kept calling it Trinity .
It is in 2000 that Hill relaunched his career by participating in the TV series Don Matteo , which sees him as the protagonist for over 20 years. In the Rai fiction for the first time the actor acts with his voice, since the beginning of his career Terence has in fact always been dubbed in the Italian edition of his films.
Now, all that remains is to see if viewers will be able to welcome Raoul Bova in the Rai series or if the fortune of Don Matteo will forever be linked to Terence Hill’s face.
