Vladimir Leib

Vladimir Leib in Anno 79: La distruzione di Ercolano (1962)

Vladimir Leib was a Yugoslav actor, familiar from having appeared in a number of Italian productions shot in, what was then, Yugoslavia - including a number of peplums and 3 Winnitou westerns.

He tended to be credited low in the cast lists or not at all. Seeing how spread out his credits are I'm sure there must be plenty of uncredited appearances to be found to fill in the gaps, both Yugoslavian (though these tend to be pretty poorly documented from what I can find - do we have any Yugoslav experts?) and other Italian productions filmed there. He bears some resemblance, both physically and in mannerisms, to American comic actor John Candy.

His unconfirmed biographical details, found on Croatian sites as well as all the usual places, are that he was born on April 8th 1913 in Vrbanja, Yugoslavia (now Croatia), and died on May 30th 1998 in Zagreb, Croatia.

Koncert (1954) credited, as The cook

Jubilej gospodina Ikla (1955) credited, role uncertain. Watching it in Yugoslav it was pretty impossible to work out what was going on, since it appears to be a surreal comedy.

[PeplumParadise]

Napoleone ad Austerlitz (1960) as Weirother's Lieutnant , a sizeable but uncredited role alongside Jack Palance.

[PeplumParadise]

Signali nad gradom (1960) credited, as Butcher with injured hand

[PeplumParadise]

Carevo novo ruho (The King's New Clothes) (1961) credited, as Judge

Igre na skelama (1961) credited, as Funfair stall holder

[PeplumParadise]

Il ratto delle sabine (1961) as Roman man
