Luciano Pigozzi (stage name: Alan Collins) was a famous character actor: he was considered "the Italian Peter Lorre", due to his evident resemblance to the Hungarian-American protagonist of the film M - Eine Stadt sucht einen Mörder; a certain similarity that he himself tended to emphasise with his gaze and posture.

After dozens of interpretations in various films, from the end of the sixties he became a constant friendly presence in the films of director Antonio Margheriti, who wanted him in all his productions, up to the end of the both careers.

Credited but doesn't appear

• Zombi 3 (1988)

• Robowar - Robot da guerra (1988)
• Cop Game (1988)

No Luciano!

• Il conquistatore di Corinto (1961) - IMDb as Corinthian messenger. Does not appear, it looks like someone has mis-identified him in the role played by Vladimiro Picciafuochi.
• Si può fare... amigo (1972) - A certain "Ann Collin" is credited in this movie. Someone must have mistaken it for "Alan Collins" and added it to IMDb. Obviously Pigozzi does not appear in this film, not even uncredited.
