He has a solitary credit on IMDb from 1919, quite possible since he was already aged 35 at the time. There is then a 19 year gap before his next listed role in 1938 - maybe he was working as an extra through those years and is our first silent generico? He then worked steadily up until his death in 1962, mostly in small uncredited roles. He regularly appeared in the films of Totò throughout the 50's and his Tototruffa profile tells us that he was also a theatre actor.
Chances are he has many more credits to be added, though if he was active through the 20's and 30's it will be luck of the draw as to whether we can find him with so many films from those years being lost.
