Based on the available information I am going to add the images for Poing Ping Sam in the role of The Pilgrim Monk and Giacomo Tchang as Chang into the cast credits marked as "probable identifications", unless anybody has any strong objections.

While it is very probable that the role of Tai Fu is played by Ching Jen Pai, he has no other known credits so he must remain unidentified.

This actress seems very familiar, but I can't think where from offhand. Any ideas?

For Bianca Pividori, I found this index that shows there's a foto in a number of the "Ferrania" rivista 1967, by Samugheo C. (side 3). Maybe it helps... http://www.fondazione3m.it/rivista/Indi ... a-1967.pdf

Maybe somebody has a copy? Since she only has the one credited role then it's possible she could be a generica

Trying to identify Roberto Paoletti, according to IMDb and other sources this should be Paoletti in Un dollaro a testa and Il giuramento di Zorro, however these don't seem like the same actor to me. The actor below from Il giuramento di Zorro seems a lot more like the actor from Un dollaro a testa, and I think he could be playing one of the guards who chases Polo, not a large role but I don't see anyone similar among the other roles. Any opinions?

I agree with Sagnotti and the third pic from the Zorro film is Agustín González.

Thank you for sorting that out :thumbup:

Unfortunately, as with Tonino Cianci and Angelo Galassi, I don't see any obvious matches among the unidentified actors in Marco Polo.

I'm starting to wonder if there might be an early scene from the film featuring western actors that is cut from my Spanish DVD copy, though online indications point to it's 100 minutes being the correct length. Strangely there don't seem to be any other copies of the film available anywhere.
