Roderick Auguste os probably an Americanized rendition of his real name of Roderik Auguste had one film credit according to the IMDB and that was as a townsman in 1966’s “Navajo Joe” starring Burt Reynolds. I can find no other information about him.
AUGUSTE, Roderick (aka Roderik Auguste) [German] –
film actor.
Navajo Joe – 1966 (townsman)
There's not even a picture of Roderick Auguste. He could have been anybody for all we know. But what we DO know is that he's from Germany and his only credited film role was in the 1966 Burt Reynolds Spaghetti Western "Navajo Joe" which also featured Aldo Sambrell and Lorenzo Robledo from the Dollars Trilogy. What's ironic about the film is that Lorenzo Robledo's character in the movie is named Robledo. I wonder how that happened? The story goes that when Burt Reynolds flew to Spain in order to work on "Navajo Joe", somebody told him he'd be working with a guy named Sergio. Reynolds initially thought he was working with Sergio Leone but he found out later that he would be working with Sergio Corbucci. That was the same year as the movie "Django" so both films were probably released back-to-back. This meant that you got a double feature of two films at the same theater. Burt Reynolds would later claim in an interview that "Navajo Joe" was the kind of film that could be shown in both prisons and at airports because you couldn't leave. LOL But all joking aside, if anybody has any information on Roderick Auguste please let us know. We are dying to find out. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteEstos extraños nombres de un solo crédito suelen ser los alias de algunos de los especialistas que se cree que no están acreditados.
ReplyDeleteLos representantes de los especialistas no les permitían trabajar de actores con el mismo nombre.
Translated comment from Abel. "These odd one-credit names are often the aliases of some of the specialists believed to be unaccredited.
DeleteThe representatives of the stuntmen did not allow them to work as actors with the same name." Thanks Abel thats information well worth knowning.
I can understand, Tom, as that often happened in Hollywood and in Europe. For example, I'm not just gonna go up to some random director and say, "Hi, my name is Benny Bence and I wanna make your movie." No, instead they would look at me and go, "Kid, who the Hell are you?" And that's when it hits the fan because I'm not a professional. They don't know who I am so I go through all this trouble of changing my name only to land bit parts and the occasional death scene. But then again, I don't work for other people so...yeah. Thanks as always, Tom.
