- Robert Fiz in Acquasanta Joe (1971)
|
|
Robert Fiz was a small-part character actor and director, active in Italian films at least between 1957-1980.
He was credited variously as Robert Fiz (8 occasions), Bob Fiz (x 6), Umberto Fiz (x 3) and once each as Roberto Fiz and Roberto Fizz - so pretty difficult to know which was his real name. He has 2 separate profiles on IMDb as Umberto Fiz and Roberto Fizz.
He started out as an actor in the late 1950's, switching track to working as a director and assistant director throughout the 1960's including work on some big productions, then he returned to acting through the 1970's.
No biographical details are currently known.
I have found a number of undocumented acting roles so I'm sure there will be more to come.
