Short and hunchbacked, but lively character actor Luciano Rossi first appeared in small background roles in a number of Spaghetti Westerns in the late 60s. He went on to appear in several films, almost exclusively as a small-time criminal (a bandit in the many Spaghetti Westerns he was in, and then a thug in his many crime films in the 70s). A favorite of director Umberto Lenzi, he often found himself cast in small roles where his character is killed off in some horrible fashion or at least beaten up.
