Baby Santa

[PeplumParadise]

The unidentified actor known as "Baby Santa" in Due mafiosi nel Far West (1964)

Short, stocky actor with a greying beard and jovial expression. He reminded me of a little Santa Claus, hence his nickname.

He has been mis-identified as similar-looking Franco Gula on occasion.

Romolo e Remo (1961) as Man at Pagan ceremony / Panicking man during rebellion / Follower of Remus - quite possibly all the same role.

Thanks to wonderful Italian continuity he gets a spear through the heart near the end, but makes a speedy recovery to be cheering Remus a few minutes later.
