Stefano Ceccarelli was a distinctive-looking bald man that appears in numerous peplum movies from the 1950s and 60s, and much like his colleagues Veriano Ginesi and Amerigo Santarelli (whom he frequently appears with), he specialised in playing parts as a torturer.
He was the father of actors Pietro Ceccarelli and Lanfranco Ceccarelli - this confirmed by his great granddaughter, Stefania Giolitti.
Initially identified by forum member Themefi for his credited role in Colpo doppio del Camaleonte D'Oro, also concurred by a mention in a book of him having appeared in La strada, thanks to Stefania we can now at long last conclusively confirm his identity. Ceccarelli's only other known credited role is in the 1947 film Daniele Cortis.
