ReplyDeleteHere's a bunch of Ettore photos on Bertrands site:

Not sure that's Ettore Arena on this photo.
ReplyDeleteNot at all ! Ettore Arena is older and he looks like his brother Fortunato .
Picture shows Gigi Proietti, btw.
ReplyDelete....and while we're on it: His fifth and apparently last credit as assisting director is for GUNAN IL GUERRIERO, made in 1982
ReplyDeleteFatman - My research shows Fortunato Arena is the father of Ettore not brother.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone help with clarification on this.

Wow! You seem to be right. So allmy credist for Ettore Arena will go to "unknown actor resembling Fortunato Arena" again. To explain my Gigi-Proietti-mistake: I had this:

much more recent photo of Proietti and though it'd be the same.
But who might be the one looking like Fortunato then...
Mysteries:-))
Fatman - Always appreciate your input, corrections and support. As you know for every answer we seem to uncover another question mark appears. Example their are to Joe Camels one as most people know is an alias for Jose Canalejas but their was a British(?) actor named Joe Kamel who is often credited as Canalejas. Marco Davo is another can of worms. We just recently found out who Tony Norton is, and their are several actors without names who we see all the time that go uncredited. I will post Fortunato Arena soon so I'll be looking for your input. Did you also notice in the Thrilling Forum post that supposedly both the Arena's have passed on?
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't (went through all postings, again), sorry.
ReplyDeletePerfetto! Grazie, volevo gia' sempre sapere che chi è Ettore Arena! E veramente, lui assomiglia al suo padre! Purtroppo sono morto tutti e due!
ReplyDeleteHello , Tom , sorry for my mistake ( the same that Fatman )...Wich you make someday a who's who gallery of these unknown acteurs or stuntmen...If it's possible ...BRAVO for your good job !
ReplyDeleteNever a problem I get 'em wrong as often as I get 'em right and there are to many questions out there. I accept all feedback as the goal is to get things correct. I welcome any and all information, corrections, additions and challenges. I also agree that a gallery of character actors, actresses and stuntmen would be very welcome.
