Panda Man

[PeplumParadise]

The unidentified actor known as "Panda Man" in I tre centurioni (1964)

Unidentified actor known from a handful of peplums from the early 60's. His nickname comes from the distinctive black and white colouring of his dark moustache and very fluffy beard. Other distinctive features are his flat nose and brushed-back hair.

A possible identification could be Franco De Vita (see posts at the bottom of this page and top of the next for details).

There is a possibility, though no guarantee, that our man could be credited here. If so then by process of deduction he would be either Angelo Bovini or Franco De Vita (we should be able to confirm or delete De Vita from a second credited role in the series Peppino Girella).
