Ricky Memphis was born in Rome. His career in the entertainment business began at the end of the 1980s with his first television appearance as an urban poet on the Maurizio Costanzo talk show. He chose his stage name "Memphis" in honour of American singer Elvis Presley.
His first role in a major picture was in the 1990 film Ultrà, directed by Ricky Tognazzi. Memphis won the award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Red at the European Film Awards.
He followed with roles in Pugni di rabbia, La scorta and Il branco.
