FOTOROMANZI

1. Genius N. 3: "Una bara per Sam" (April 1966) - as August Bren

[van den bremt rudy]

Il magnifico texano (1967) a western ! (as a party guest)

i found him in a trailer not the movie !
great find !!!!

[Ghibarian]

Very good news: I've found his name!

In the book Fellini's faces there is almost the same shot from the movie Roma (1972)
and according to this book our generico is Augusto Brenna.

So finally we know his name; I'm very happy!

Johan Melle: Absolutely fantastic news! And it makes perfect sense since he was credited as "August Bren" in Genius N. 3!

[Ciavazzaro]

Very small speaking and singing ( biggrin.gif ) role for him in Basta guardarla (1970) as hospital patient (uncredited) pic by Ghibarian

Il padre di famiglia (1967) (uncredited) .... Officer pic by Ghibarian

All the others are Ciavazzaro pics

Im very sure this is Augusto in Italiani! È severamente proibito servirsi della toilette durante le fermate (1969) again as a Bishop

Speaking role for Augusto in Cuore di mamma (1969)

First party guest roles All'ultimo minuto (1973) episode Scala Reale

And finally a very nice, but uncredited role in Come fu che masuccio Salernitano - He plays a monk

He is praying before going to sleep, when another monk says to him, "remember you have to die", but he answers "not yet !" and in that moment a statue fells over his head

But don't you worry, because the day after Augusto is safe:

[Ciavazzaro]

Augusto plays the butler of the Peregos !!! in Pensiero d'amore (1969)

And he is one man fascinated by Silvana Mangano in Le streghe (1967)

Augusto in Come imparai ad amare le donne (1966) as a wedding guest

In La traviata (1967)

With two nice dogs in Il comandante (1963)

[Johan Melle]

It's been a long time since I've discovered Augusto in any films but here he is in James Tont operazione D.U.E. (1966) at the congress of secret agents:

Augusto as one of Gia Sandri's suitors in La sfida dei giganti (1965):

And Augusto's filmography continues to grow. Now spotted as an audience member at the gladiator fight in I due gladiatori (1964):

[Johan Melle]

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

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)

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"

[Johan Melle]

All of the roles in this post were originally posted by Ghibarian in the old forum.

Augusto at the nightclub with Mia and Pia Genberg in Sedotti e bidonati (1964)

Augusto can be seen as a man at the airport during the final minutes of Operazione San Gennaro (1966)

He's able briefly visible in I nostri mariti (1966) in the segment "Il marito di Olga"

Quite a nice role for him as a general in Vogliamo i colonnelli (1973)

And finally the last known role for Augusto - as a waiter in Corruzione al palazzo di giustizia (1975)

[Ghibarian]

I maniaci (segment "La parolaccia") (1964) .... Commission member

Io, io, io... e gli altri (1966) .... Politician

Fellini's Roma (1972) .... "model" at the vestments show

Controsesso - segment "Una donna d'affari" (1964) .... Passerby
