Little Known Spaghetti Western Actors ~ Tony Casale

[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.]

Born Antonio Casale this Italian character actor appeared in over 100 films from 1961 – 1985. He’s not to be confused with the other Italian actor of the same name who is best remembered as the dying soldier in the “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” who tells Tuco and Blondie of the buried gold in Sad Hill Cemetery and the name on the grave where it’s hidden.   

He appeared in twenty-four Spaghetti westerns from “Il segno di Zorro” (The Sign of Zorro) in 1963 as a conspirator to “Occhio alla penna” (Buddy Goes West) in 1981 as a saloon patron.

I can find no biographical information on him
