Who can help me to identify anonymous actors?

Hi, guys!
Please, see all photos of Frank’s gang members on my personal blog.

Good job, i think it will make it easier to indentify them all.

Has this ever been fully resolved @Mr_Fed ? Maybe we can integrate it into the film’s /credits page @Carlos ?

We haven’t done one yet. Seems our list includes everyone he has listed? We should maybe take a look at the cast list. Maybe there’s some unconfirmed actors listed that have been there forever (before the current history :slight_smile: ).

There’s a few I recognized from other productions, listed as unknown … Román Ariznavarreta is the 2nd rider watching the McBain Ranch, and shot from horseback by ‘Harmonica’ … he’s best known as the half shaved gunfighter in FAFDM who tells Clint to, “Leave Red alone!” :wink: 99% sure it’s the same guy.

PS: What about ‘Cheyenne’s’ gang … they’re worth a mention?

I agree
