Credited cast

(actors credited in Italian version)

Gordon Scott
as Maciste / Samson

Yoko Tani
as Princess Lei-ling

Dante Di Paolo
as Bayan

Gabriele Antonini
as Cho

Leonardo Severini
as Garak, the Great Khan

Valéry Inkijinoff
as Taoist High Priest

Chu-Lai Chit
as Prince Tai Sung
Uncertain identification. ANICA and IMDb identify him in this role, but he has no other credits so there is no way to confirm the ID

Antonio Cianci (c.s.c.)
Unidentified, maybe credit only

Ham Chau Luong
(credited as Luong-Ham-Chau)
as Buddhist high priest
Uncertain identification. ANICA and IMDb identify him in this role, but it seems dubious since he was only aged around 40 when this was made. Ham does have other roles listed on IMDb so we may be able to confirm the ID, or not

Franco Ressel
as Captain of the Khan's guards

Sergio Ukmar
as 1. Man who brings Lei-Ling to the tavern
as 2. Soldier

Giacomo Tchang
as Head Buddhist monk

Tonino Chou
Unidentified

Ely Yeh
as Emperor Wung
Uncertain identification. ANICA and IMDb identify him in this role, but he has no other credits so there is no way to confirm the ID. He seems the appropriate age to be Ham Chau Luong.

Hélène Chanel
as Liu Tai

The N.21 on the left looks like Paul Muller.

I don't think it would be Muller, he was a well known actor at this time and this is only a background role as a guard

in fact it seems very strange to me too but he’s similar.

In my opinion, the white-bearded guy in pics 2, 53, 59 and 80 is Ho Fu Ling in yet another role. Also looks like him on the right in pic 31 in what I assume is yet another role.

And in pic 50, I believe we also have another role for Cho-Cha-Lung - the one dressed in green.

I hadn't considered that before, hmmm, maybe, can't say I'm certain. Yes for the other role, as to whether or not it counts as another role depends if "tavern customer simultaneously in different position in the tavern" counts as a second role

Yes and possibly 2 more roles too?
