Umberto Amambrini

[Johan Melle]

Umberto Amambrini in L'ultimo treno della notte (1975)

Another instantly recognizable generico thanks to his thick, long sideburns, Umberto Amambrini shows up in numerous films from the 1970s and 80s - quite often as a cop. After a lot of searching, his name was discovered by Rogerio Ferraz, who identified him thanks to his credited performance in Frankenstein '80 (1972).
