Basile, Antonio

[Stuntman Mike]

Antonio Basile in Il ratto delle sabine (1961)

Antonio basile was a stuntman, actor and master of arms active in the Italian cinema scene from at least 1960 until 1983. Credited sometimes as "Antony Basil", he is also the brother of the actor/stuntman Pasquale Basile, the two often played with the Musumeci Greco Team during the '60s. Antonio, like his brother, is not particularly tall but is robust in build. He almost always presents himself with the same look: completely clean-shaven face, medium-length hair and long, thick sideburns. He is also easily recognizable by the mole on his left cheek.
We do not have any biographical information at the moment.

Filmography to check

• ...e le stelle stanno a guardare (1971, TV Mini-series) episode 3 of 9, as Jobey’s henchman (IMDb) On the web the third episode seems to be the only one missing.
• El Macho (1977), as Duke Henchman

No Antonio!

Titles where Antonio is listed as appearing somewhere online, but cannot be found. There always has to be one!

• Liberate i pesci! (2000) credited as Scenografo.I’ve checked and there’s really an actor under the name “Antonio Basile” credited as Scenografo (Set designer), but I suspect that is another person. The only actor who could fit this role is clearly not our Antonio Basile.
