Who Are Those Guys? ~ Lorenzo Fineschi

 

Lorenzo Fineschi was born in Milan, Italy on January 11, 1934. He was an Italian actor and stuntman.

Before starting his cinematic career, he was a wrestler and a great star of the Milanese scene between 1960 and 1965. His film career really kicked into gear starting in 1970. He was active above all in the western genre and was one of the most recurring stuntmen in the  Bud Spencer and Terence Hill films.

He is recognizable thanks to his curly, blonde hair (he often appears platinum blonde). He had light blue eyes and a massive build. He’s sometimes confused with actor Claudio Ruffini.

Lorenzo appeared in around forty films, seventeen being Spaghetti westerns.
