- Alfredo Ciarpelloni in Fango bollente (1975)
|
Alfredo Ciarpelloni, called "Er Banzo", was a roman cinema worker, that is one of those who often contributed, without specific credit, to the making of a film taking care of a technical aspect.
Thanks to his ruggedly roman face and robustly built body size, he was used for small appearances in many Italian films, typically as temperamental and physically threatening characters.
It seems he passed away around 2015.

The earliest role I've found for him is
Fellini - Block notes di un regista (1969) where he appears as a
Roman actor who plays a gladiator (together with Ennio Antonelli) in a scene for Fellini.

This is certainly his best known role as it appears in a cult film of Italian comedy:
Un sacco bello (1980). His role is that of a
stretcher-bearer at the hospital who cynically with his colleagues welcomes a friend of Verdone suffering from spasmodic pains and stalling making diagnosis by reading the newspaper.
His part continues after a while, when he continues with a brief comic line.
And credited as "segretario di produzione"

Briefly in
Il boss (1973) as
Cocchi's thug
He is one of the Calabrians who is assassinated by Henry Silva's men with a shot in the face (off screen).

Perdiamoci di vista (1994) as
Taxi driver who brings Arianna home
Still a small gag with Verdone, in which he repeatedly takes and returns Asia Argento in Verdone's arms - because she is capricious - before taking her home.
