Ivan Basta was a small part and background actor, active throughout the sixties in Italian peplums, eurospies and westerns.
He was born on January 13th 1940 in Zagreb, Yugoslavia (birth details from CIDb), which explains his presence as an extra in several peplums shot in Yugoslavia early in his career. It would seem he moved to Italy around 1962 and remained there for the rest of the decade.
For a long time he was mis-identified as c.s.c. actor Romano Giomini. Now that he has been correctly identified hopefully some more roles will follow.
