Naturally, Hollywood has taken an interest in this story and has produced a movie about it. But who plays Versace in the movie? Let’s find out.
First of all, it’s important to note that there have been two productions about Versace’s life and death: “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story”, a TV series by Ryan Murphy, and “House of Versace”, a TV movie by Sara Sugarman.
In “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story”, the role of Gianni Versace is played by Édgar Ramírez. Ramírez is a Venezuelan actor who has appeared in several Hollywood movies such as “Joy” and “The Girl on the Train”. He received critical acclaim for his portrayal of the fashion icon and was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie.

Colantoni is an Italian-Canadian actor who has appeared in popular TV shows such as “Veronica Mars” and “Flashpoint”. While he didn’t receive as much critical acclaim as Ramírez did, he still managed to bring his own unique interpretation to the role.
