I glanced through it quickly without finding "Lurch", however I remember that some of the credited actors like Antonio Acqua are very well hidden, so he could still be there somewhere. With a number of unfamiliar names in the credits it would be a good title for a film topic, but I have not yet come across an HD print.

Yes, I believe you're right, well spotted (my copy, while not HD, is somewhat better than that you tube copy). It's most obviously him at the end of the scene when he removes his hat. I don't know that one identification can confirm his ID, but it certainly makes it seem a lot more probable than no ID.

I made an interesting discovery about War Sini
viewtopic.php?f=58&t=4498&p=90761&hilit=war+sini#p90761
I was checking the beautiful bluray vinegar syndrome which i did buy not long ago of the new restored version from the negative of L'orribile segreto del dr hichock 1962
Here War have a nice speaking role as the inspector, i fought he was uncredited (as you know excluding the two leads all the actors are credited with fake english names) but checking the cast on imdb (since im preparing the topic for this movie too) i see a certain Evaristo Signorini credited as playing the inspector credited under the fake name of Evar Simpson which as you can see is similar to the italian one.
I did check the other credits and in Johnny Yuma (1966) where he is credited in the italian version as Evaristo Signorini he plays a nice little role of a priest killed in the beginning of the movie.
In Il re si diverte (1941)in the titles he is credited with a role as courtier, i did found this version so i don't know if there is a better copy around
https://ok.ru/video/6189104761538
but giving a quick look im sure this is Evaristo/War at minute 17'15 his nose is impossible not to recognize !
https://ok.ru/video/6189104761538
He is also appearing according to anica/imdb in La compagnia della teppa (1941)
this is again on okru and i confirm is credited in the titles but i did not checkced the full movie
La maschera di Cesare Borgia (1941), Don Cesare di Bazan (1942) as nobleman part of the conspiracy here an hd copy
https://ok.ru/video/7082895215351
So i now think that War Sini is a fake name he did use for his fotoromanzo appareance, and i think his name in his topic should be changed to the italian one, do you agree with me ?
In case we will be able to expand his filmography back to 1930 ! according to two other movies listed on his imdb page.

Good find! Nearly a doubt that Signorini and Sini are same guy.

I have what seems to be a somewhat better print, but it is in Russian language (or some other similar language) with Russian credits, so I'll have to download the Italian copy to get the credits.Ciavazzaro wrote: ↑01/05/2025, 3:11In Il re si diverte (1941)in the titles he is credited with a role as courtier, i did found this version so i don't know if there is a better copy around

From the timing you gave I assume this must be the actor you mean. I have him identified as Franco Coop in my saved images, which seeing the scar clearly in the last image must almost certainly be correct. His role is more important than a courtier, though in Russian I haven't any idea what is being said, so what his actual role is I have no idea.
The actors below all seem to be courtiers and are not identified. Could he be one of those?

I have saved headshots of 42 unidentified actors in this one. If we can work out who he is in Il re si diverte then I can probably match him here.Ciavazzaro wrote: ↑01/05/2025, 3:11Don Cesare di Bazan (1942) as nobleman part of the conspiracy here an hd copy

I've never managed to find a complete copy of La maschera di Cesare Borgia. There's just a couple of very short clips on You Tube.
