Domenico Cianfriglia in La banda del trucido (1977)

Domenico Cianfriglia was a supporting actor and stuntman, from the early sixties, first in peplum movies and later in many spaghetti westerns and crime films. His roles were mostly limited to those of the henchman or thug. In most cases he therefore remained uncredited.

He was born on May 19th 1938 in Anzio, Italy. He was the younger brother of Giovanni Cianfriglia, also known as a stuntman and supporting actor.

Domenico died of a heart attack on October 26th 2020, aged 82.[1]
