The David di Donatello for Best Foreign Actor (Italian: David di Donatello per il miglior attore straniero) is a category in the David di Donatello Awards, described as "Italy’s answer to the Oscars".[1] It was awarded by the Accademia del Cinema Italiano (ACI, Academy of Italian Cinema) to recognize outstanding efforts on the part of non-Italian film actors during the year preceding the ceremony. The award was created during the second edition of the ceremony, in 1957, and cancelled after the 1996 event.[2]
