Fineschi, Lorenzo

[Stuntman Mike]

Lorenzo Fineschi in “Lo chiamavano King” (1971)

Lorenzo Fineschi was born on 11 January 1934 in Milan, Italy. He was an actor and stuntman of the italian cinema.

Before starting his cinematic career was a wrestler, great star of the Milanese scene between '60 and '65. His film career began in the 70’s. He was active above all in the western genre and was one of the most recurring stuntmen in Bud and Terence's films.

He is recognizable thanks to his curly, blonde hair (he often appears platinum blonde). He has light blue eyes and he’s of massive build.
Not to be confused with the Spanish actor Alfonso De La Vega, very similar aesthetically.

Several sources claim that Lorenzo died on 3 November 1982 in Rome, Italy. But I recently discovered a role of his dating back to 1985, in the TV series "Caccia al ladro d’autore". I don't know if the series had delays in airing compared to when it was recorded, but that could explain this inconsistency on dates.
