Credited cast

(actors credited in Italian and English versions)

mitchell5.jpg
Gordon Mitchell
as Obro

cortez2.jpg
Bella Cortez
as Mercede

lupi6.jpg
Roldano Lupi
as Yotar, King of Metropolis

marietto.jpg
Marietto
as Elmos

gargano.jpg
Omero Gargano
as Tarakai, Prime Minister of Metropolis

mario.jpg
Mario Meniconi
as Father of Obro

temberlani.jpg
Carlo Tamberlani
as Father of Yotar
This actually seems more like Carlo's brother, Nando Tamberlani, though it is hard to be certain under the make-up. Nando is credited on French posters for the film instead of Carlo, so Carlo's name could be a mistake by the Italian credit writers.

Luigi Moneta
as The old sage

sasso2.jpg
Ugo Sasso
as Captain of the guards of Metropolis

No-Actor-image-185-1.png
Renato Terra Caizzi (c.s.c.)

Credit only

enrici.jpg
Carlo Enrici
as The scientist's assistant

oleman2.jpg
Leo Coleman

furio2.jpg
Furio Meniconi
as Egon

orfei4.jpg
Liana Orfei
as Queen Texen

Credited on the Italian poster but not in the film credits
kronos2.jpg
Kronos
as The Giant
This may be Aldo Pedinotti, who is credited under this name in another film, though it really does not look like him at all, even allowing for prosthetics and make-up

Unidentified actors


Uncredited actors listed by online sources, but not identified
  • Alberto Farnese - IMDb as Musico, does not appear
  • Leopoldo Savona - IMDb as Dancer. IMDb is under the impression that director Savona and credited actor/dancer Leo Coleman are the same person - they're not and even if they were he doesn't play a dancer!

27 is fotoromanzo actress Priscilla Mendez.

50 and 52 looks like Dan Harrison/Bruno Piergentili to me.

65 should be Sergio Ukmar.

66 is Claudio Ruffini, and the man on the right in pic 21 should be him too, I think.

67 is Paolo Casella.

Yeah, I think it could be Lori too.

For Labbia maybe, but not sure.

I'm not sure about the possible Franco Lori. Here he is from another angle. Lori had a very flat nose and this guy's nose seems too big in my opinion.
