Very bizarre role for Nello in the Franco & Ciccio comedy I due pericoli pubblici (1964) as Nursing-nun

It seems that instead of bothering to find an unattractive woman to play this part, they decided to cast a man. To reinforce the impression that this is a woman, they even had Nello's voice dubbed by a woman, which is very weird to listen to! :flushed:

I ragazzi del juke box (1959) as Boy at the dancing club

I'd say he was really a bit too old to convincingly fit in among the youths at a dancing club, which may explain why he's constantly hidden away in the background.
