"Western Old Man"

[Bill Carson]

"Western Old Man" in C'era una volta il West (1968)

This old guy has appeared in some great western movies, his identity has been much discussed in various forums, was often confused with Josef Eggers and also his presumed identities discovered by fans (Antonio Palombi and Joseph Bradley) are absolutely unconfirmed.
Today his identity, like his nationality, remains unknown.

Abel Haro Pulido posted the following: "This man was the Italian Antonio Palombi, he was a carpenter on Carlo Simi's team and a friend of Sergio Leone, he was also a waiter in Per il gusto di uccidere in 1966. Credited in the production team of other films." We were already aware of this possible ID, but there is no way to confirm this information. A post in the Quasi dimenticati group on Facebook has named him as "Ullrich Müller" (which rather confusingly says he was an English actor of Austrian origin from Almeria), while a comment on the post disputes this and names him as "Joseph Egger". So many possibilities, so little evidence!
