Fracassi, Armando

Grande Silenzio - Armando Fracassi1.jpg
Armando Fracassi in the fotoromanzo "Il grande silenzio" (1960)

Armando Fracassi was originally discovered and remembered by Ciavazzaro and Johan from his appearance in the 1960 fotoromanzo "Il grande silenzio". It has recently become evident from the discovery of several roles through the Whitebeard project that he is indeed a generico. Identifications so far are all from the years 1959-62.

He should be easy to identify with a bushy greying beard, slicked-back long-ish receding black hair and very distinctive eyes. It looks like he sometimes dyed his beard darker.

Ben-Hur (1959) as Spectator at crucifixion march. He's one of the crowd who panic when they realise there are lepers nearby. Now added in a second role as an Arab at the chariot race.
