Ever seen this guy in a film before? No? Well, chances are that you have, but perhaps without noticing him.
The above picture is taken from the Italian spy-thriller TV mini series
Notturno (1982), where the man in the picture plays an uncredited part as a C.I.A. man. As I watched this characteristic white-haired guy with a boxer's nose, I strongly felt as if I'd seen him somewhere before. Don't you just hate that? Knowing you've seen an actor before but not being able to remember
where you've seen him...
Well, as time has passed, I've come to spot this man in lots of other films dating all the way from 1967 to 1995 but I still don't have a clue as to who he is. It would seem, though, that he was a regular bit player at Cinecittà. He has appeared in several small non-speaking parts or been a background actor, but he has also taken on a few bigger roles where he gets to speak some dialogue.
If you keep your eyes peeled, you may recognize him as one of the cops during the hostage situation in Ruggero Deodato's
Live Like a Cop, Die Like a Man (1976), an orderly at the asylum in Joe D'Amato's
Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals (1977), one of the German officers on the train in Enzo G. Castellari's
The Inglorious Bastards (1977) or as one of the military officers in Umberto Lenzi's
Nightmare City (1980) just to mention a few notable titles.
