Mario Castaldi was an Italian character actor usually seen in crowd scenes. He was born in Larino, Molise, Italy on October 17, 1904. His career in films didn’t start until he was almost 70 years old in 1973. His distinguished looks made him perfectly suited to play gamblers and restaurant patrons as well as waiters and townsmen. His career encompassed 37 film and TV appearances until 1997.
Mario died in Rome on November 17, 1999, at the age of 95.
Castaldi appeared in four Spaghetti westerns: “La vita, a volte, è molto dura, vero Provvidenza?” (They Call Me Providence) in 1972 as a gambler, “Lo chiamavano Tresette… giocava sempre col morto” (A Man Called Invincible) as a waiter, “Occhio alla penna” (Buddy Goes West) in 1975 as a restaurant patron and “California” in 1977 as a poker player.
