Little Known Spaghetti Western actors ~ Graham Clarke

[These daily posts will cover little known actors or people that have appeared in more recent films and TV series. Various degrees of information that I was able to find will be given and anything that you can add would be appreciated.]

Graham was born in South Africa in 1942. He started out as a dancer, but realized he required something a little extra as the parts he landed in musicals in the 1960s came with lines as well. "I started taking acting classes and I eventually turned pro in 1965," he says.

Graham Clarke was one of the first faces to ever grace South African television in the TV series ‘The Villagers’. He has worked consistently in the South African film and television industry since its inception as well as performing in stage dramas, musicals, and comedies. One of the stalwarts of the industry is his voice which lends any read gravitas and the conviction of age.

Graham appeared in 87 films from 1972 until this year. He’s also produced four films. His film appearances include ‘The Wild Geese’ (which starred Richard Burton and Roger Moore),

Clarke has appeared in two Euro-westerns: “Guns of Honor” (TV) in 1994 as La Salle and “Hooded Angels” in 2000 as a gunman.

RIP Robert McGinnes

 

Renowned painter/illustrator, Robert E. McGinnis, died at the age of 99, in Old Greenwich, Connecticut on March 10, 2025. Bob was one of the most prolific illustrators of the 20th century. It's likely you have seen one or more of his artwork images somewhere. They appeared in magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post, National Geographic, Good Housekeeping, McCall's, Reader's Digest and Guideposts; on many paperback book covers in the form of personal-project paintings that included many Old West scenes; and also on movie posters for culturally significant movies. McGinnes’ artwork was featured on several Spaghetti western American posters such as “The Big Gundown” (1966) and “Duck You Sucker”

Is Caroline Clark an alias for an unknown actress or her real name? I can find nothing on this actress. She’s listed at a couple of sites as being in an uncredited role in 1969’s “Dio perdoni la mia pistola” (God Will Forgive My Pistol).
