[Johan Melle]

Although he appeared a long line of fotoromanzi (particularly for famed publisher Lancio), Quinto Marziali was rarely credited.

Fortunately, he is credited in the fotoromanzo Idillio N. 73: "Sarò soltanto la tua donna" (Published January 1969), which is how I was able to identify him

And here's selection of Quinto's other memorable fotoromanzo roles - most of them bad guy roles and all of them uncredited:

[Johan Melle]

And now his film roles.

The earliest role found for Quinto so far is as an East German soldier in the spy film Berlino: appuntamento per le spie (1965)

Typical henchman role in another spy film, Cifrato speciale (1966)

And yet another spy film: Furia a Marrakech (1966) where Quinto can be spotted as an M.P.

Having a good time at the beat club in the spy spoof James Tont operazione D.U.E. (1966)

Quinto is also present in the famed horror movie Operazione paura (1966) as a man at the inn

And in the western spoof Franco e Ciccio sul sentiero di guerra (1969) - thanks to Carlos for the pic

Quinto has a rare credited role as a landlord in the grim Alberto Cavallone oddity Dal nostro inviato a Copenaghen (1970)

[Johan Melle]

Quinto also appears in quite a lot of gialli.

Here he is as a bartender at the gay club in Dario Argento's Il gatto a nove code (1971)

Comment from Emiliano: Great that Johan found out the name of this actor. I always suspected that he was a "professional" actor in the Cat o 'nine tails, because he looks suspicious at the main character (Franciscus) and has always intrigued me!


Also in the Argento giallo 4 mosche di velluto grigio (1971) as a man at the coffin exhibit

As a butler in Giornata nera per l'ariete (1971)

Quinto can also be seen as a carabiniere in the nightmare sequence in La supertestimone (1971)

Il provinciale (1971) (uncredited) .... Man at reception desk - post by Ghibarian

Another giallo for Quinto - as a policeman in La dama rossa uccide sette volte (1972)

A bearded Quinto sitting behind Paola Quattrini and Edwige Fenech in this café scene from Perché quelle strane gocce di sangue sul corpo di Jennifer? (1972)

And at the airport in Sette orchidee macchiate di rosso (1972) with a cowboy hat (maybe he's supposed to be an American tourist)
