How do you off-set your carbon footprint?

The producer of An Inconvienient Truth (which we also edited) runs one of our offices, so we're pretty strict when it comes to enviromental matters.

Greatest influence

My dad. He gave me the confidence to go and get things I thought I could never have.

Clubs

The Robert Rowan School Of Dancing.

Favourite gadget

Sat nav. I'm forever getting lost.

Desert island objects

My wife, Jessica, and our children, Samuel and Amelia.

Most-admired politician

Archie Norman. I've cut a lot of Asda commercials.

Favourite media

The Times,.

Perfect day

Danny Kleinman giving the thumbs-up having watched cut number one.

Who should play you in the film of your life?

After his performance in Meet The Fockers, Dustin Hoffman.

Career highlights

Being voted on to the 2006 Campaign A List. I felt proud, as there aren't many editors who have ever featured on it.

Fictional hero

Benny Urquidez. He fights for Jesus.

Hidden talent

Whatever talents I've got, I never hide them.

Best job outside advertising

Working in a martial arts club. It was gratifying to help people reshape their lives and get fit.

Lowdown

Gandolfi began his career as a runner aged 15 and has worked his way up to become one of the most talented editors working in the industry today. He is equally as comfortable working on commercials, television shows and feature films and is a keen amateur boxer, so don't mess with his edit.

Most expensive purchase

My ex-wife's house and car.

Why are you good at what you do?

I love what I do.
