Italian director, assistant director and actor Antonio
Casale died February 4th. He was 84 years-old. Casale was best known
as an Italian character and supporting actor, who appeared in eight Italian
spaghetti westerns-between 1965 and 1976, sometimes credited as Anthony Vernon.
Casale is probably most famous throughout the world for his brief appearance in
the role of the dying Bill Carson in “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”. He also
appeared as the bounty hunter Hoak in the opening scene of “The Grand Duel” and
in the role of one of the passengers on the coach that humiliates the
protagonist Juan naively considering him only as an insignificant peon in “Duck
You Sucker”. When the Euro-westerns were finished his face was often seen in
police and crime films.
