Apparently never credited in any films, Oscar nevertheless played many significant (and usually credited) roles in fotoromanzi:

Le avventure di Kolman N. 12: "Due ragazze d'oro" (September 1970)

Le avventure di Kolman N. 13: "Dove l'amore non muore mai" (October 1970)

Le avventure di Lucky Martin N. 37: "Ketty la pantera" (October 1971)

Moulin Rouge N. 2: "Morire d'amore" (February 1972) - credited as Oscar Sciamm

Mia N. 1: "Io e te insieme in un sogno d'amore" (29 March 1972)

[Johan Melle]

Moulin Rouge N. 7: "Le colpe dell'amore" (July 1972) - credited as Oscar Sciamm

Albi d'amore N. 2: "Teneramente" (March 1973) - credited as Oscar Sciamm

By the late 1970s, Oscar apparently moved away from acting and began a new career as a director of fotoromanzi for the famed magazine Grand Hotel. During the 1980s, he got the chance to direct a lot of famous actors, and here are a few examples of fotoromanzi directed by Oscar:

"Il ghetto d'oro", published in Grand Hotel during 1986

"Il tormento e la speranza", published in Grand Hotel during 1987

"Le stelle si amano così", published in Grand Hotel during 1988
