Mancini, Claudio

[Bill Carson]

Claudio Mancini in 2012

According to various sources, Claudio Mancini (born in Rome on april 24, 1928) begins to work in the cinema industry as a generico and electrician in his 20s, subsequently reaches the position of movie producer, working with many great filmmakers like Sergio Leone, Elio Petri and some others.
In addition to his legendary cameo in C'era una volta il West (1968) and his bit part in La proprietà non è più un furto (1973), he was not identified in the other films where he acted as a generico.

According to Wikipedia, he often played arab characters due to his dark complexion, it would be interesting to find his unscovered film appearances.

From an interview that I found, Mancini talks about other 2 cameos in Leone's movies, as a mexican officer in Giù la testa (1971) and as a syndacalist in C'era una volta in America (1984), but for now I haven't stills of the last one.
Despite his age, Mancini has a facebook account where he posted many photos of his cinema works since his youth, this allowed me to identify him in Il giocattolo (1979).
