Musco, Nino

Post by PeplumParadise » 07/07/2019, 20:38

Nino Musco 1961 2.jpg
Nino Musco in Cineguida 1961
Antonino "Nino" Musco was a short, stocky actor, active in films from at least 1953 to 1978. His earliest role found comes from 1953, after which there is a 5 year gap that needs filling in.

According to Wikipedia his parents were actors Angelo Musco and Desdemona Balistrieri. IMDb adds the detail that Angelo Musco was the uncle of actor Turi Pandolfini, which should mean that he was Nino's cousin.

His roles are divided pretty much equally between small credited character parts and uncredited generico-type appearances. When spaghetti westerns came along he seems to have picked up many of the "barman" roles that Mimmo Poli did not have time for. I have turned up a number of previously undocumented uncredited roles for Nino and I feel sure there are plenty more to be found, particularly from the mid-late 50's when his filmography is currently rather barren.

More Musco!
There are still a number of titles I have not yet been able to find in which Nino may appear, so if you have images of him in any of these you know what to do.
  • Agosto, donne mie non vi conosco (1959)
  • Le notti dei teddy boys (1959)
  • La congiura dei Borgia (1959)
  • Il cavaliere senza terra (1959)
  • La duchessa di Santa Lucia (1959)
  • I picciatelli (1959)
  • Perdonate Padre Lorenzo, una ne faccio cento ne penso (1973) ANICA
  • Yi xiang meng (1977)


    Images and credit shots are also needed for the following poster and listing credit titles
  • Tormento di anime (1953)
  • Napoli 1860: La fine dei Borboni (1970)
  • Il carcerato (1971)
  • Calore in provincia (1975)

No Nino!
As always seems to be the case there are also a few titles where Nino is credited on the internet, but where I have been unable to find him.
  • I ragazzi del juke box (1959) Probably does not appear. Listed on various websites with no role given. He is not credited and I could not see him.
  • Banning (1967) Does not appear. Credited on IMDb as playing a General. Since this is an American production filmed entirely in the USA, then Nino's participation was always highly unlikely. He is not credited and does not appear, probably somehow confused with Barbarella where he does play The General.
