Signore e signori, buonanotte (1976) as Army soldier

With Vittorio Calò and Giulio Massimini as one of the three Fascist soldiers in the TV mini series I ragazzi di celluloide (1981)
Ragazzi Di Celluloide - Antonio Spinnato1.jpg

All three are listed in the end credits, but Antonio is erroneously credited as Alfredo Sabatini

The reason for this mistake is not known, but there are also some other mistakes in the cast list, such roles being attributed to Giuseppe Marocco and Teresa Rossi Passante, neither of whom actually appear in the series.

Antonio actually has a double role in W la foca (1982). First as the lover of Patacchiola's wife (Dagmar Lassander)

And then later as a street worker

Vai avanti tu che mi vien da ridere (1982) as Policeman at the hotel

And here in the softcore movie Sogni erotici di Cleopatra (1985) as Man at the orgy
Sogni Erotici Cleopatra - Antonio Spinnato1.jpg

He only observes the action and doesn't actually participate in any of the "hot" stuff

Yet in spite of the brevity of his role, he's actually credited

Antonio has also made many appearances in the long-running TV series Don Matteo. In fact, he made his first appearance already in the first season and this is him in Don Matteo - episode 11: "L'attore" (2000) as Inmate in the prison visiting room
Don Matteo Ep 11 - Antonio Spinnato.jpg

Much later, he played a recurring role as a policeman during the fourth season, appearing in at least six episodes:

Don Matteo 4 - episode 4: "Debito per la vita" (2004)
Don Matteo 4 Ep 4 - Antonio Spinnato1.jpg
Don Matteo 4 Ep 4 - Antonio Spinnato2.jpg

Don Matteo 4 - episode 9: "La valigia" (2004)
Don Matteo 4 Ep 9 - Antonio Spinnato.jpg

Don Matteo 4 - episode 15: "Misteri e bugie" (2004). This time he has a little dialogue and is actually addressed as Spinnato by the others. In this episode it's the birthday of his character and we see him being congratulated by his colleagues

Nice close-up and a brief line of dialogue in Don Matteo 4 - episode 22: "Vacche grasse, vacche magre" (2004)
Don Matteo 4 Ep 22 - Antonio Spinnato.jpg

Don Matteo 4 - episode 23: "Il delitto del biberon" (2004)

It's quite possible that he also appears in some other episodes from the fourth season...
