Sotto dieci bandiere (1960) as Panicking ship crew member.

I think the bald black guy passing in the front may be Alfred Thomas, but you don't see his facial features clearly enough to make a definite ID.

Ben-Hur (1959) as Galley slave.

I think this could be our man but can't say I'm absolutely certain (there was no response when I asked in Quick identifications), so I'm putting it as an uncertain identification for now. Hopefully we can decide for sure once we know him a little better.
