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.
