was kind enough to answer my question about the name of this anonymous figure, the second player card to the left, above image. This request was forwarded by Ernesto Gastaldi. I thank them both very much for the speed and generosity of their response.
The man appears in Per il Gusto di uccidere (Tonino Valerii, 1966), The Good the Bad and the Ugly (Sergio Leone, 1966), Once Upon a Time in the West (Sergio Leone, 1968), My Name is Nobody (Tonino Valerii, 1973), where he is Dirty Joe, his the most successful role in a long scene, opposite Henry Fonda in the background, and Terence Hill, which mimics the fable of the little bird.
The answer Tonino Valerii, which I translate from Italian and summarizes : Tonino Valerii
identifies exactly what it set out who plays the role of Dirty Joe in My Name is Nobody (stesso è ripeteva chi ne Il mio nome è Nessuno it favoletta della Mucca, del del lupo e Canarino).
Tonino Valerii believes, however, had never known the name of this man, just as during the filming of Per il Gusto di uccidere than My Name is Nobody .
Indeed, the famous British colony of Almeria, which belongs to the man, a colony of retired British positions (in the audio commentary My Name is Nobody , Studio Canal, completed in 2003, Tonino Valerii speaks of retirees railways), was engaged as a whole because they were cheap and there was always a small role in one or the other ( Erano ed in qualche piccolo semper utilizzabili Ruolo.)
But the names were indistinct, and often call them created a little problem.
"Call it a pipe, the one without teeth ... (" Chiama quello co 'a pipa; vedi'ndo what sta senza dente an ecc. "
They lived in a residence built on the beach of Almeria, tenants of a so-called English baron who had the reputation of being a British spy, without Tonino Valerii never knew whether it was a fake (if not its be bene delle delle finte beard) or someone from the drug squad charged with the supervision of the port of Almeria.
Tonino Valerii think they are certainly mentioned in the credits at the beginning, but he can not be identified by name.
The shadow will then probably fall a very long time on this man.
