Serious Senator

[PeplumParadise]

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

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

Already greying in the late 50's he has a somewhat squared head, jutting jaw 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.

Nefertite, regina del Nilo (1961) It's not really clear what roles the guys in yellow are playing so I'll go with Man in the palace.

Not absolutely certain about this one, he seems to have the same expression as in his other ID's, but without seeing his hair it's hard to be sure, at least until we get to know him better.
