Italian performer Matteo Sciabordi debuted onscreen on a prestigious note as a child actor, by fleshing out a pivotal role for celebrated director Spike Lee in that filmmaker's #92;period drama Miracle at St. Anna (2008). In the motion picture, Sciabordi portrays a young Italian tyke saved by a platoon of American soldiers during World War II whose rescue invariably causes the military men to get left behind by their squadron. Sciabordi starred in the film opposite Derek Luke, Michael Ealy, Laz Alonso, and others. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
