Here's Augusto's nice little role in the 'fotoromanzo nero' Genius N. 3: "Una bara per Sam" (April 1966)
Genius 3 - August Bren1.jpg
Genius 3 - August Bren2.jpg

The Genius fotoromanzi usually have cast lists but they tend to 'Americanize' the names of the actors, and so Augusto is credited here as August Bren

And here's Augusto at the casino in Kriminal (1966)

Kriminal - Augusto Brenna2.jpg

Also seen very briefly (on the right) as a spectator in Assassinio made in Italy (1963)

And as a party guest in the TV series FBI - Francesco Bertolazzi Investigatore (1970) - episode 5: "Labbra serrate"
