"Faux Marrocu"

Post by Johan Melle » 19/07/2022, 19:59

Faux Marrocu.jpg
The faux Marrocu in Tenebre (1982)
This generico was active in Italian films at least during the 1980s, and is characterized by distinct lines in his cheeks and slicked-back hair and brows that looks to have been dyed black.

He has a small credited role in the TV mini-series I ragazzi di celluloide (1981), but due to an error in the cast list, his role is instead attributed to prolific fellow generico Giuseppe Marrocu, hence his nickname as the "faux Marrocu".

Obviously, no biographical details are known, but since he is shown wearing a wedding ring in several films, I'm assuming he was married.

I ragazzi di celluloide (1981) (TV mini series) - episode 1, as Waiter at Gabriella's birthday party.

He is credited, but because of a mistake in the cast list, his part is actually attributed to Giuseppe Marrocu (as "Giuseppe Marroccu".

I pompieri (1985) as Guest of importance at the premiation ceremony (it's not clear what he's supposed to be, but from his positioning he must be someone important).
