Unidentified actors

Uncredited actors listed as appearing by other sources, but not identified

• Ferruccio Amendola - IMDb as Egyptian architect. This role would be one of the actors in 11 or 12.
• Gianfranco Bellini - IMDb as Captain of the guards. Since Sydney Chaplin is playing this role, I am not certain which other character this role could refer to - the actor on the right in 6 and 10 maybe?
• Alfio Caltabiano - From his biography
• Diego Carlisi - IMDb as Priest. I imagine the "priests" are the actors seen in 37-41.
• Carlo D'Angelo - IMDb as Nabuna. Does not appear. This is the character of Nellifer's bodyguard seen in 16, 18 and 33, who looks nothing whatsoever like D'Angelo, who is a familiar actor from peplums.
• Cyril Delevanti - IMDb as "Bit part"
• Vittoria Febbi - IMDb as Mea. I didn't hear any character called by this name, but I assume it must refer to one of Nellifer's handmaidens or the girl with the bird in 4, since there are really no other female roles in the film aside from background actors.
• David Muss - IMDb as Dancer at the party. Presumably one of the dancers seen in 24.
• Bud Thompson - IMDb as Dancer at the party. Presumably one of the dancers seen in 24.

It could be possible some of the actors listed on IMDb are credited with roles they dubbed rather than performed

The interiors for this film were reportedly all shot in Rome, so the generici in these scenes should, in theory, be Italian actors, however they seem to be a largely unfamiliar bunch. The exteriors were all shot in Egypt and I have not included images of actors from these scenes, other than a couple of speaking roles who may be Italian or English actors.

A quite strange thing: Amendola, Bellini, D'Angelo and Febbi were all not only actors but also voice actors. I wonder if there is a mistake and their credits actually refer to the dubbing of those specific characters in the italian version.

That sounds like it could be a possibility. The role played by Febbi doesn't seem to exist, but maybe one of the female roles was re-named in the Italian version - I've only ever seen it in English.

Number three from the left in pic 29 looks to be Sergio Marga. Aside from that I can't recognize anyone.

Thanks, the addition of Marga and Tsao Hong Tche at least trebles our uncredited generici

Is it true that Carlo D'Angelo wasn't in this movie? I have him listed as an overseer. That comes from some source. I therefore assumed that he plays the overseer seen in the movie.

It's a shame that Warner Bros didn't make a call bureau cast sheet for this movie. Those sheets are the source for much info in the American Film Institute catalog's cast list and they are the longest cast lists you can find.

I presume the "overseer" would be the actor on the right in 6 and 10 and that certainly is not D'Angelo and I didn't find him anywhere else in the film. As Mortimer suggested it could be possible that D'Angelo did some dubbing for the film but did not appear.

For reference here are some images of D'Angelo from other peplums
