Re: Geoffrey Copleston
Attentato al Papa (1986) (TV mini series) credited as Geoffrey Gerald Coppleston, as Bulgarian ex-Secret Service man. Yet another one-scene role for Geoffrey in this two-part mini series about the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II. At least we finally have him speaking his own dialogue in Italian again.

Detective School Dropouts a.k.a. Asilo di polizia (1986) credited, as Mr. Hamelfarm. A short comical role for Geoffrey as a man who gets sprayed with both ink and shredded paper thanks to the incompetent protagonist. He speaks his own very brief dialogue in the English version.

The Belly of an Architect (1987) credited, as Caspetti. Geoffrey appears in a couple of scenes in this very strange British film shot in Italy, but he's never really shown very well.

Re: Geoffrey Copleston
Big Man: Polizza droga (1988) (TV) credited, as Henry Winterbottom. This is the first of six TV movies starring Bud Spencer as insurance investigator Jack Clementi. Geoffrey appears in all six in the role of Spencer's boss, one of the tops at insurance market Lloyd's of London. He usually has just a few scenes in each one, mostly appearing at the beginning to assign Spencer his mission, but plays the role with considerable charm and sympathy. He also dubs his own voice in the English dubs of all six movies. In the first one he only appears in two short scenes in a board room

Big Man: Boomerang (1988) (TV) as Henry Winterbottom. Geoffrey appears in two scenes on the telephone in this second Big Man movie. Oddly enough, he's not credited this time, which is surely due to an error...

Re: Geoffrey Copleston
Big Man: Diva (1988) (TV) credited, as Henry Winterbottom. Another time where he has just one scene, and this time he's listed in the end credits instead of during the opening credits with the main actors like he is in the other movies.
