Bad guy actor

[Johan Melle]

??? in La battaglia del deserto (1969)

Here is another unknown actor with a very characteristic face who I am unable to identify. He has a small role in La battaglia del deserto (1969). With a face like that I am sure he must have played bad guys in more films too!

I have also found him in two fotoromanzi. He played small roles but they were big enough for him to deserve to be credited.
Le avventure di Lucky Martin N. 13: "La trappola dagli occhi verdi" (published October 1969)

Le avventure di Jacques Douglas N. 59: "La vita appesa ad un filo" (published August 1970)

I found him in another fotoromanzo - Le avventure di Jacques Douglas N. 43: "E la mummia sorride" (from April 1969), where he plays "Ahmed, il killer" but he was uncredited again!

Bad Guy Actor in Zorro alla corte d'Inghilterra (1969) in which he is one of the 6 members of the Queen's council. He is never addressed directly so I'm not sure which branch of the military he represents. - ID by Johan Melle

[Johan Melle]

Here is an interesting discovery about this actor. He appears on the cover of the very rare fotoromanzo Genius N. 66: "Il tuo corpo è tatuato?" (Published 9 December 1968)

Unfortunately, I don't have this fotoromanzo, but Genius was also published in Argentina under the name Goldrake, and this particular issue was published as Goldrake N. 29: "Tu cuerpo esta tatuado?" in 1973, and I have found a scan of this Argentinean version on the net. As you can see, the cover motive is the same

Our man has a great role here - as a bad guy, of course! What else?

Unfortunately, there are NO actors credited in this Argentinean edition, but given the size of our man's role, he might be credited in the Italian edition. However, I have many of these Genius fotoromanzi and the cast lists are really bad, because almost all of the actors are credited under very silly Americanized pseudonyms, so I wouldn't spend too much time and energy trying to hunt down this fotoromanzo...
