Antonino "Nino" Musco was a short, stocky actor, active in films from at least 1953 to 1978. His earliest role listed on the internet comes from 1953 after which there is a 5 year gap that needs filling in. So far his earliest found role comes from 1958.
According to Wikipedia his parents were actors Angelo Musco and Desdemona Balistrieri. No other biographical details are currently available.
His roles are divided pretty much equally between small credited character parts and uncredited generici-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.

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.
