Armando Fracassi in the fotoromanzo "Il grande silenzio" (1960)

Originally discovered and remembered by Ciavazzaro and Johan from his appearance in the 1960 fotoromanzo "Il grande silenzio", it has recently become evident from the discovery of several roles through the Whitebeard project that he is indeed a generico. Identifications so far are all from the years 1960-61.

He should be easy to identify with a bushy greying beard, slicked-back long-ish receding black hair and very distinctive eyes.

He was originally identified from his appearance in the fotoromanzo "Il grande silenzio", published in the weekly magazine Cine Tipo from n. 43 (26 October 1960) to sometime in early 1961.

Images by Johan

[PeplumParadise]

I mongoli (1961) as Lord in the Polish palace.

Since his features cannot be seen too clearly when the image is enlarged I would say this is a probable rather than definite identification, largely because this film was shot mostly in Yugoslavia and there are no other familiar actors (besides the leads) among the many generici in this scene.
