Richard Dunne (affectionately known as Dick to his friends) was an American actor who was very active as a generico in Italian films in the 1970s, frequently appearing alongside his wife Corinne Dunne.

Richard and Corinne originally lived in New York and had one daughter, Karen. They loved to travel around the world, and in the 1960s, they decided to relocate to Rome for a year, but enjoyed life there so much that they remained for more than 15 years. During this time, they embarked on a career as actors, appearing in countless films and TV commercials (many of which were made for other countries), but they were almost never credited.

In the early 1980s, the Dunnes traveled to Naples, Florida, USA to care for a sick relative and ended up staying there permanently. There, they become greatly involved in arts and social scene, with Corinne working as a columnist and doing reviews of performances at the Philharmonic Center for the Arts for the "Naples Daily News", whereas Richard provided photographs for many of these events.

He passed away in 1995.[1]

Richard Dunne was originally identified by Ciavazzaro thanks to his credited appearances in the TV series K2+1 (1971) and the film Daisy Miller (1974).

So when I saw an actor credited I checked for other roles and I found this man credited in Daisy Miller as Opera Patron and after checking Daisy I found he indeed plays that role
