Felici, Umberto

Umberto Felici in "Saul e David" (1964)
Formerly the unidentified "Owl Man", active from at least the late-fifties to mid-sixties. He has very distinctive prominent bags below his eyes (which give him an owl-like look, hence his former nick-name) and also seems to usually have a brushed-out beard, so he should be easy to identify.

A joint effort of identification, deduction and confirmation by Ciavazzaro and PeplumParadise led to his fairly quick identification.

La sfida dei Giganti (1965) as Amodius. He has a character name and gets to speak in this one as one of the Kings, but is still uncredited (none of the Kings are and all the credited actors are known).
