Susani, Angelo

Angelo Susani in Attila flagello di Dio (1982) and La resa dei conti (1966)

Angelo Susani was a stuntman and actor active in Italian films from at least the early 1960's until the early 1990's.

No biographical details are currently known.

Similarly to Giuliano Dell'Ovo, Susani had 2 distinct looks, which has caused some problems in identifying him in the past. The look by which he is instantly identifiable and which he kept for most of his career has him with shaved head and dyed handlebar moustache. The second look, which he kept in the mid-late 60's and is the one which causes some confusion, he grew his hair and beard, making him look rather different and since his hair and beard were naturally greying he actually looked somewhat older in the 60's than in the 70's.

He may have also worked as a stunt double for Livio Lorenzon in the early 60's.

I have found a number of undocumented roles for Angelo and I'm sure more will follow. Since he was obviously already in his 30's or 40's in the 1960's then there is also a good possibility of earlier roles being found.

Sette contro tutti (1965) as Palace guard

Impossible to get a clear shot of him, but I'm pretty sure this must be Angelo.
