Benito Pacifico
Round-faced, high-hairlined stuntman who started as a bit part actor in Italian Westerns. He was immediately noticed for his athletic ability and given large supporting roles and even a few starring roles in some low-budget Westerns, often opposite Gordon Mitchell. Even with the demise of the Spaghetti Western genre, Pacifico stayed on and made the transition from star to character actor and stunt coordinator. Bouncing around between all the major Italian studios, Pacifico is best known in his small roles as a "thug" or "henchman" in countless Italian crime and action films, usually alongside Giovanni Cianfriglia and Nello Pazzafini, who both made similar prolific stunt / character actor careers.
