切萨雷·达诺瓦（1926年3月1日-1992年3月19日），出生于意大利贝加莫的切萨雷·戴廷格，是一名电视和银幕演员。二战结束时，当他转向在罗马表演时，他采用了艺名达诺瓦。他于1950年代移居美国，并于1955年拍摄了电影《唐璜》（Don Juan）。他于1956年与米高梅签约。

其他出场包括《理解女人的男人》。他测试了 Ben Hur 的一个角色，但他的重大突破是在 1963 年的电影《克利奥帕特拉》中扮演克利奥帕特拉的私人仆人阿波罗多罗斯，该片由约瑟夫·曼凯维奇执导，伊丽莎白·泰勒、理查德·伯顿和雷克斯·哈里森主演。虽然最初的剧本要求达诺瓦扮演一个主要角色，他将与哈里森的凯撒和伯顿的马克安东尼组成克利奥帕特拉的情人三人组。尽管拍摄了许多以泰勒和达诺娃为主角的场景，但随着伯顿-泰勒事件成为小报头条，剧本被修改，角色被截断。剩下的只不过是客串。

次年，他在《拉斯维加斯万岁》中饰演埃尔莫·曼奇尼伯爵，作为猫王在安·玛格丽特的《生锈的马丁》和拉斯维加斯大奖赛上的竞争对手（可以预见的是，两人都输给了猫王的幸运杰克逊）。

1967年，达诺瓦在电视剧《加里森的大猩猩》中再次休息，他在剧中扮演演员的角色。显然受到热门电影《肮脏的十二人》和热门电视剧《碟中谍》的启发，该系列有一个合奏演员阵容，但不幸的是，只播放了 26 集。他最好的两个角色是在马丁·斯科塞斯的《卑鄙的街道》（1973 年）中饰演邻里黑手党唐·乔瓦尼·卡帕，以及在《国家讽刺的动物之家》（1978 年）中饰演腐败的镇长卡明·德帕斯托。他还出演了《步枪手》的三集，并经常作为客串明星出现在众多电视连续剧中，包括《谋杀》、《她写了》、《莫德》、《猎鹰之冠》和《碟中谍》（1988-90）的复兴。

他在洛杉矶电影艺术与科学学院总部参加外语电影委员会会议时死于心脏病发作。他的陵墓位于瓦尔哈拉纪念公园公墓。

达诺瓦结过两次婚，第一任妻子帕梅拉生了两个儿子，马可和法布里齐奥。他是一位专业的骑手、狂热的马球运动员和出色的弓箭手。

Cesare Danova (March 1, 1926 - March 19, 1992), born Cesare Deitinger in Bergamo, Italy, was a television and screen actor. He adopted the stage name Danova when he turned to acting in Rome at the end of World War II. He migrated to the United States in the 1950s to make the film Don Giovanni (Don Juan) in 1955. He was contracted to MGM in 1956.

Other appearances include The Man Who Understood Women. He tested for a part in Ben Hur, but his big break was the role of Apollodorus, Cleopatra's personal servant in the 1963 film, Cleopatra directed by Joseph Mankiewicz and starring Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton and Rex Harrison. While the original script called for a major role for Danova, who was to form a trio of Cleopatra's lovers alongside Harrison's Caesar and Burton's Marc Antony. Though a number of scenes featuring Taylor and Danova were shot, the script was revised and the role truncated as the Burton-Taylor affair made tabloid headlines. What remained was little more than a cameo.

The following year he starred as Count Elmo Mancini in Viva Las Vegas as Elvis Presley's rival for both Ann Margaret's Rusty Martin and for the Las Vegas Grand Prix (predictably losing both to Elvis's Lucky Jackson).

In 1967, Danova had another break with the TV series, Garrison's Gorillas, in which he played the role of Actor. Clearly inspired by the hit film, The Dirty Dozen and the hit TV series Mission: Impossible, the series had an ensemble cast but, unfortunately, only ran for 26 episodes. Two of his best roles were as the neighborhood mafia Don, Giovanni Cappa, in Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets (1973) and as the corrupt town mayor, Carmine DePasto, in National Lampoon's Animal House (1978). He also acted in three episodes of The Rifleman, and regularly appeared as a guest star on numerous television series, including Murder, She Wrote, Maude, Falcon Crest, and the revival of Mission: Impossible (1988–90).

He died of a heart attack at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences headquarters in Los Angeles while attending a meeting of the Foreign Language Film committee. His mausoleum is in Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery.

Danova was married twice and had two sons, Marco & Fabrizio, by his first wife, Pamela. He was an expert horseman, avid polo player, and an excellent archer.
