Little Known Spaghetti Western Actors ~ Guido Barlocci

[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.]

Guido Barlocci was born in Rome sometimein 1925. He appeared in over 30 films between 1961 and 1976, and he was also a fotoromanzo magazine actor.

Among those films were seven Spaghetti westerns where he played a croupier. “Al di là della legge” (Beyond the Law) 1967, “I giorni dell’ira” (Day of Anger), “Un poker di pistole” (Poker with Pistols” (1967), “Sono Sartana, il vostro becchino” (Sartana the Gravedigger) (1969), “Buon funerale amigos... paga Sartana” (Have a Good Funeral) (1970), “Lo irritarono... e Sartana fece piazza pulita” (Santana Kills Them All) (1970), “È tornato Sabata... hai chiuso un'altra volta” (Return of Sabata) (1971).

Other than a non-credited role in “Beyond the Law” he played a croupier in every other film. This suggests to me he was a professional croupier or gambler in Rome casinos at that time and was called on when a croupier or casino played was needed for a gambling scene in an Italian film.

Guido died in Rome on July 9, 2000. He was 75.
