Personal Quote:

When I was going to do my first Western they asked me how well I could handle horses. And I said very poetically with much conviction, "Beautiful." And I had never seen a horse before in my life! But being a physical actor I learned! I have always liked Westerns very much, even before I ever acted in them. There is much to love concerning Westerns. See more »

Trivia:

Worked with Sergio Leone for a long time and became perhaps one of the most used European actors in Italian westerns. See more »
