Dr. Mabuse

[PeplumParadise]

The unidentified actor known as "Dr. Mabuse" in Totò, Peppino e i fuorilegge (1956)

Unidentified generico active in Italian films at least during the early-mid 50's.

He has a thin face, balding head, large nose, a very distinctively-styled white goatee and seems to usually be wearing glasses or a monocle. Several of his roles found so far are in films starring Peppino De Filippo, so maybe there was some connection there. I thought he seemed to have the look of a criminal mastermind about him, hence the nickname. He is yet another generico identified through our Whitebeard project.

Il bigamo (1956) as Man in the court building.

Not seen too clearly as he's either rushing by or intentionally out-of-focus in the background, but I think the glasses and goatee are obvious enough that there can be no question that it's him
