Franco Ricci

[Ciavazzaro]

Franco Ricci in Mannaja (1977)

And finally the topic for another generico who did appear everywhere from the 1970's until the 1990's.
He was also in some fotoromanzi, and was finally identified by Johan who found out his name in the fotoromanzo Femmina n.10 (1974)

FOTOROMANZI

1. Le avventure di Tony Marvin N. 8: "Calde notti a Beirut" (May 1973)
2. Femmina N. 10: "I sogni cominciano all'alba" (October 1974) - credited

[Ciavazzaro]

On the left in Bluff - storia di truffe e di imbroglioni (1976)

In The Salamander (1981)

As lawyer in Processo per direttissima (1974)

I saw him in fotoromanzi too, i saw him in a Grand Hotel, maybe Johan you already have saw him in another fotoromanzi?

[Johan Melle]

Yes, I did find him in a fotoromanzo! This is our man in Femmina N. 10: "I sogni cominciano all'alba" (published October 1974)

He plays the count Bruni and he is credited, too

So it looks like our man is named Franco Ricci! However, I don't think he's the same as the actor named Franco Ricci on the IMDb. Also, there could be a mistake with his name, because in the same cast list we have Luciano Zanussi credited as Ettore Zanussi (and in Femmina N. 11 he is credited as Franco Zanussi)! I don't know any more. I don't have any other fotoromanzi where Franco Ricci is credited...

[Ciavazzaro]

Behind Filippo Perego in L'importante è non farsi notare (1979)

In two sceneggiati:

Madame Bovary (1978) as man in hotel

Playing chess in Don Luigi Sturzo (1981)

At the casinò in Razza Selvaggia (1980)

With so many generici in Telefoni Bianchi (1976)

Close-up in Il paramedico (1982)

And as party guest in In nome del padre del figlio della colt (1971)

[Ciavazzaro]

I think by the number of roles that you are begininning understanding the importance of this discovery Johan !

From L'altra metà del cielo (1978) as Party guest

La violenza: quinto potere (1972) as General at funeral

And in the ending of Inferno (1980) as Man watching the burning building

And dancing with so many others generici in Gran Bollito (1977)

[Johan Melle]

And now I have found him too! He's in the audience during the first trial in Il vero e il falso (1972)

I've changed the first post with the filmography a little by removing the main picture and replacing it with a really good close-up of Franco from Mannaja (1977).

The original main picture was from Il portiere di notte (1974) so I'm now posting the pic of that role here instead

[Ciavazzaro]

My compliments for your first discovery for Franco.

And by the way look who is here !
From the bank scene in Fracchia la belva umana

[carlos]

And I've found a nice role for Franco as a priest in Giubbe rosse (1975) uncredited

[Johan Melle]

Oooh! Good one!

[Ciavazzaro]

Great !
And i have many new roles for Franco to add !
