Serious Senator

[PeplumParadise]

The unidentified actor known as the "Serious Senator" in Annibale (1959)

The unidentified generico known as the "Serious Senator" was active in Italian films at least in the mid-50's to mid-60's.

Already greying in the late 50's he has a somewhat squared head, high forehead, small chin and slightly downturned mouth, giving him a serious look. In the early peplum roles found for him he plays your typical generico roles of senators, noblemen and courtiers, hence his nickname.
