Bruno Degni

[Ciavazzaro]

Bruno Degni in La tarantola dal ventre nero (1971)

Bruno Degni has the typical face of early twentieth century English man. He reminds a bit of the appearance of James Steward.
After much searching, his name was finally discovered by Johan Melle in October 24, 2014, thanks to his credited role in the fotoromanzo Dalida N. 3: "Occhi senza ricordo" (April 1973).

[Johan Melle]

He can be seen very briefly in the b/w flashback to the international congress in Le orme (1975) as the Chairman

Here he is in Jess Franco's Paroxismus (1969) as party guest

La morte non ha sesso (1968) as Police technician

He appears very briefly as a Nazi officer in some film footage in Cifrato speciale (1966)

He is a guard in Supercolpo da 7 miliardi (1967)

[Johan Melle]

Letizia N. 86: "L'uomo che cercava Rudy Maes" (25 March 1968)

Very good role for him in the fotoromanzo nero Genius N. 40: "Autostop sisters" (December 1967) but unfortunately, he is uncredited

I just found our man in the fotoromanzo Dalida N. 3: "Occhi senza ricordo" (April 1973), where he has a nice little role

He plays a man named Curtis, and as you can see, the actor who plays this role is credited

So we now finally know that the name of our generico is BRUNO DEGNI!

[Johan Melle]

Now that we have finally identified Bruno Degni, I want to pay a little tribute to him by posting some pics from a few of his most memorable fotoromanzo roles. I begin with Kimba re dell'Africa nera N. 12: "Il segreto" (October 1970), where our Bruno has a really wonderful role as a villain

This is the most substantial role I have found for Bruno. He is not credited because the Kimba fotoromanzi never credited any of the actors. Instead there is a page with pics and a small description of the main characters, and Bruno is present - a good indication of how important his role is here

Another very important fotoromanzo role for Bruno is in Monica N. 47: "Il passato che ritorna" (January 1972). He is uncredited (unfairly so) but has a very important role in the first part of the story - set in World War 2 - as a loving father who is taken away by the Nazis

And then he has another very nice (but uncredited) role as a Russian secret agent in Le avventure di Ray Kolman N. 34: "Un'orchidea rossa di sangue" (September 1972)
