Jeff Cameron in Sette contro tutti (1965)

Jeff Cameron was born Giovanni Scarciofolo (IMDb says his real name was Goffredo). He died in 1985 - I have been informed by a reliable source that he died from "a disease", make of that what you will, but without any way to verify it this info should be treated as hearsay. Strangely no other information is known about him.

Jeff worked steadily as a stuntman from 1962-1967, first in peplums then moving into eurospies and spaghetti westerns, with occasional credits. 1968 saw him rise rapidly through the western credit lists (with several under his real name) and in 1969 he became a fully fledged lead actor, scoring 10 lead or featured roles over the next 4 years - though it must be said that none of these films were really any better than mediocre. Then in 1973, just as his career could have taken off internationally, he mysteriously vanished from the screen.

I think Jeff's latter filmography must be pretty complete, but there is a possibility that there may be a few undocumented appearances in peplums or eurospies still to be uncovered.
