Where is this information from and how is it confirmed? I see various websites give different dates of birth for Riccardo, split equally between the 1938 and 1944 dates, so unless it can be confirmed by someone who knew him or from his grave it is difficult to know which is correct.

There are many mistakes on IMDb, so we do not use information from there without confirming it from other sources. I could put the 2 alternative dates in his biography, but maybe Matteo might be able to confirm which is correct from his sources.

I'm not sure at the moment. If I ever have the chance to speak again to Francesco, the son, I'll try to ask him.PeplumParadise wrote: ↑03/10/2025, 14:58There are many mistakes on IMDb, so we do not use information from there without confirming it from other sources.

OK, thanks, for the moment I will put the 2 possible alternative dates in his bio as from the information available it is impossible to know which is correct.Stuntman Mike wrote: ↑03/10/2025, 15:22I'm not sure at the moment.

I was wondering why Ettore Arena is in the stunt section.
A careful analysis of his filmography clearly shows that his stunt work is very limited compared to his appearances as an extra actor. He had a decent career as an Assistant Director, but never as Master of Arms.
I would honestly classify the father as a stuntman much more than the son.
In my opinion, Ettore Arena falls into the category of background actors and small roles such as Gerlando Martelli and Angelo Boscariol, who occasionally appeared alongside the stuntmen in small actions.

Yes, I agree. He was put in the stuntmen section before I joined the forum, when there were only 4 or 5 stuntmen there, probably by Emiliano to make up the numbers and maybe before his filmography had built up to know where he should belong.Stuntman Mike wrote: ↑13/10/2025, 7:40I was wondering why Ettore Arena is in the stunt section.

So the question is should he go to "little known actors" or "generici"?

Put him to his father, I say.

This identification of Ettore Arena seems incorrect, not to say absurd.
