Little Known Spaghetti Western actors ~ Giuliano Dell’Ovo

[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.]

Giuliano Dell'Ovo was an Italian actor and stuntman active in Italian films from the late 1950's through until the early 1970's. The only biographical detail known about him is that he died in 1998.

He had 2 distinctly different looks which he alternated, basically shaved-head and with hair, which has been the cause of some difficulty in identifying him. For a long time, he was confused with both Spartaco Nale, with whom his shaved-head look bears a close resemblance and with C.S.C. actor Romano Giomini, a confusion seemingly caused by them both being unknown and credited in the “Ten Gladiator” movies.

Dell’Ovo appeared in six Spaghetti westerns: “Il segno di Zorro” (The Sign of Zorro) 1962 as a rebel, “O tutto o niente” (A Man Called Amen), as a Buseba henchman also [stunt coordinator and master of arms], “7 dollari sul rosso” (Seven Dollars to Kill) in 1966 as a rider, in 1970’s “Ehi amico... c'è Sabata, hai chiuso!” (Sabata) as Bill, a bank guard “Il venditore di morte” (The Price of Death) in 1971 as Deputy Kurt, and in “Campa carogna… la taglia cresce” (Those Dirty Dogs) in 1972 (as a soldier)
