Righi, Michele

[PeplumParadise]

Michele Righi, in Annibale (1959)

Michele Righi was a generico 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 former nickname.

He was identified by Ciavazzaro from his credited appearance in the fotoromanzo Tipo n. 14: "Quel giorno pianse il cielo" (February 1963).
