Surely, one of the best actors of his generation, Frank Wolff was never awarded or honored for his work. He was one of the American actors, that were forced to travel to Europe for a successful career. His performance in _Salvatore Giuliano (1962)_ (qv) is definitely one of the greatest performances ever. Breath-taking. Memorable stuff. Moreover, he is well known for his roles in many "Spaghetti-Westerns" and stealing the lead character's show. He often played bad guys. However, one of his most ... famous, but briefest, performances was as Brett McBain, the friendly farmer in 'Sergio Leone (I)' (qv)'s _C'era una volta il West (1968)_ (qv). He also brought much needed light relief as the sheriff in 'Sergio Corbucci' (qv)'s _Il grande silenzio (1968)_ (qv). In fact, his show as a crazy killer in _Il tempo degli avvoltoi (1967)_ (qv) is pretty cool. Furthermore, he gave commentary to the documentary _Western, Italian Style (1968) (TV)_ (qv), a exciting behind-the-scenes look at the genre. When the time of "Spaghetti-Westerns" was ending, he had a few roles in Italian crime movies. Another memorable performance was in 'Duccio Tessari' (qv)'s Giallo _La morte risale a ieri sera (1970)_ (qv). Sadly, the vastly underrated Wolff killed himself in the Hilton Hotel in Rome in 1971.Read more Less
