Giglio Gigli in Per una bara piena di dollari (1971)

Giglio Gigli was a bit part actor, one of the "stagecoach drivers" (like Antonio Danesi, for example) of the Italian film industry (another hint for this: although he never is involved in a rumble, he's listed in the stunt list cited on another site here), who shows up in very small parts, mostly to make the badman’s bunch complete. He – as far as I remember – never speaks a line, and even in his sparse credited roles he’s way down the list of important characters. With his tall physique and bony, gaunt facial figures he’s quite recognizable, and since Nick has tracked him down in a 1960 peplum it’s very probable that we can find him in other parts unknown so far, like I succeeded for a couple of roles.

With all the peoples' help here I have him in about 40 roles now as a start.

All these come from the not always reliable IMDb.

  3. Mia moglie, un corpo per l'amore (1973)
  4. Più forte sorelle .... Catapult henchman (1973)

No gig for Gigli
As always, there is one
  • Execution (1968). He's mixed up with Mirko Valentin - a guy that he actually resembles - in some sources.
