Pasquale Cennamo in La sfida (1958)
Pasquale Cennamo was a Neapolitan small-part actor with a couple of memorable larger roles, active in Italian films at least between the mid-1950's to mid-1960's.

Pasquale was born in Naples, Italy on April 11th 1902. He had a son, also named Pasquale, and a grandson, Vincenzo.

His earliest-known film roles come from 1954, when he notably appeared opposite Totò in L'oro di Napoli. He had other memorable supporting roles in La sfida and I magliari, both directed by Francesco Rosi. The remainder of his known roles are mostly bit parts. His filmography consists almost entirely of films shot in Naples.

Pasquale died in Naples on August 13th 1976, aged 74.

His grandson Vincenzo maintains a Facebook page dedicated to Pasquale where he posts images from his films and from where most of his biographical information comes. I did try to message him to confirm some biographical details and credits, but have had no reply as yet.
