Who Are Those Guys? ~ Vittorio Fanfoni

 

Vittorio Fanfoni was born in Piacenza, Emilia-Romagna, Italy on November 10, 1944. He was a film and television actor who graduated from the C.S.C. so many of his credits are in doubt. Fanfoni always dreamed of becoming an actor and starring in films with great directors. Instead, he settled for a long career in B-movies starting in 1968 and after a little more than a decade in 1979 he returned home. During that stretch he appeared in over 90 films and TV series. Among which were 21 Spaghetti westerns.

A big man who was usually bearded. He appeared in crowd scenes as a townsman, jailer or as a saloon patron.

Vittorio Fanfoni died in his hometown on June 12, 2016 from a lung infection at the age of 71.
