Born in Turin, Ardisson debuted in a minor role in Mauro Bolognini's 1959 film Arrangiatevi!.[1] [2] After several secondary roles in sword-and-sandal and adventure films, he gained a huge success playing Agent 3S3 in the eurospy films and Agent 3S3, Massacre in the Sun.[2] According to director Sergio Sollima he was chosen for this role thanks to his physical appearance that made him credible as American.[3]
Later Ardisson starred in several more spy films and spanned different genres, including Spaghetti Western and Italo-horror films.
