Yes, he does look somewhat familiar to me as well, but I'm not overly familiar with any of the little actors except Furnari and D'Ecclesia. Are you going to do topics for more of them? I imagine there must be several undocumented roles out there for the lesser-known ones.

I was thinking of doing a topic for Franco Doria at some point since I'm familiar with him from a few peplums, but I haven't begun to collect images for him yet.

The others I only know their faces from the movies where multiple dwarfs appear - Antonio De Martino, Domenico/Mimmo Imperato and Adriano Cornelli are 3 names that crop up in the credits of multiple dwarf ensemble films, but it might take some deduction to work out which is which. I think they definitely all deserve topics though - the Dwarf Database starts here!

Sadly none of the other 6 dwarfs from I sette nani alla riscossa seem to have any other credits, as I have them all identified from their credited characters, but if you should come across any unidentified 40's/50's dwarfs I may be able to match them.

Yeah, where better to try to figure it all out? ;)

Anyway, looking through White Western Beard's topic, isn't this "Leatherface" on the left in this pic from The Bible?

Hmm, seems like it could be, but can't say i'm certain, i've never seen him with that thick a beard and it's a bit dark to make out his features clearly.

On the other hand that does look like Whitefuzzy seated next to White Western

Not sure if this can be Angelo Casadei in Marco Polo?

I would say yes.

Oh, and the black prisoner in Rudy's pic looks familiar. Pretty sure I've seen him as a slave in some peplums.

The the president is a different guy. Him I know very well, having found him from a handful of other movies too.
