Fausto Signoretti in Wanted Johnny Texas (1967)

Faustone "Fausto" Signoretti was an actor and stuntman, active in Italian films at least from 1954 to 1987.

No biographical details are currently known.

With only 9 known roles, plus one additional credit, spread over a 33 year period, he is a bit difficult to pin down. Hopefully with his topic started more roles will appear. Since he has one master of arms credit, appears in our list of pre-1969 stuntmen and most of his roles involved some degree of stunt work, I have opted to list him with our stuntmen - time will tell if that is where he belongs.

Filmography

1954
  1. Giulietta e Romeo .... A Montagu (credited)

    1964
  2. Jim il primo .... Jess henchman (uncredited)
  3. Sindbad contro i sette saraceni .... (credited as master of arms)
  4. Ursus, il terrore dei kirghisi .... Prisoner (uncredited)

    1966
  5. Uccidete Johnny Ringo .... Jackson henchman (credited?)

    1967
  6. Wanted Johnny Texas .... Dick (credited)

    1973
  7. Amarcord .... Madonna (uncredited)

    1978
  8. Pugni, dollari e spinaci .... Friar Candido (credited)

    1987
  9. Intervista .... Gate guard at Cinecitta (credited as "Faustone Signoretti")

Titles to check
  • I cavalieri dell'illusione (1954) / Loves of Three Queens (1954) IMDb. The first film appears to have had an extremely limited release before vanishing without trace. The film was then cut down to make up one of the three segments which comprise the second film. This film can be found, but only in poor quality copies where it is difficult to identify most people you are familiar with, let alone those you aren't.
  • Salambò (1960) The only copies of this film currently available all come from the same French print which is rather poor quality and I wasn't able to recognise him. Sources suggest he should be credited, but he isn't in the minimal French credits.
  • Il segugio (1961) IMDb (listed under "Fausto Signorelli")

Giulietta e Romeo (1954) credited, as A Montagu.

Between the wig and the 10 years before his next found role it's hard to be absolutely certain, but I think this must be him as I didn't find anyone else who seemed to be a possibility.

Jim il primo (1964) as Jess henchman.

He isn't credited in the English version (at least not unless he's hidden under a strange pseudonym).

Sindbad contro i sette saraceni (1964) credited as master of arms.

I didn't recognise him in the film, however several of the saracens of the title are not seen clearly enough to identify (at least not in the versions currently available). Since Attilio Severini, credited alongside him as second master of arms, does appear as one of the saracens, then it seems possible that he could play one of the unidentifiable ones.

Uccidete Johnny Ringo (1966) as Jackson henchman.

He's not credited in the English version, but may be in the Italian.

Pugni, dollari e spinaci (1978) credited, as Friar Candido.

Since he is credited by role here, and there are no other friars in the film, then this role confirms his identity.
