Fellini Satyricon (1969) Role uncertain.

This is Wilbert's last known appearance in an Italian production.

Le tigri di Mompracem (1970) as Man of Sandokan.

Wilbert appears here briefly thanks to re-used footage from Sandokan, la tigre di Mompracem (1963).

Teachers (1984) credited, as Guard

There is little information to be found about Wilbert's activities through the 70's, but between 1979-1987 he turned up in a handful of small credited performances in American productions. I wouldn't rule out the possibility that there may be a few uncredited appearances in US productions still to be found.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) credited as Assistant choreographer.

As far as I could find Wilbert does not appear in the film. Why a non-musical film would require an assistant choreographer is anyone's guess.

Big Shots (1987) credited, but not found, as Social Service Man.

I searched through the film a couple of times with no luck finding Wilbert, so either I somehow missed him or else he does not appear and maybe ended up on the cutting room floor. This is Wilbert's last known film credit.

Extracts from the programme for the 1946 Broadway stage production "Bal negre", where Wilbert played multiple roles, which also featured Van Aikens and a young Eartha Kitt. I have only posted the pages where his name is mentioned.

A page from the playbill for the 1948 London production of "A Caribbean Rhapsody", where he again appeared alongside Van Aikens and Eartha Kitt.

There is a short video on You Tube showing Dutch newsreel footage of the Katherine Dunham dance troupe's arrival in Holland in 1949 with the show "A Caribbean Rhapsody". Wilbert must be among the dancers (and is named in the credits below the video), but I wouldn't want to hazard a guess as to which dancer he is since they are not seen that clearly. The video can be viewed here.
