Loris Loddi might not ring a bell to many PEPLUM fans but the then young Italian boy appeared in many Sword & Sandal films from the Golden era. One of his first film was CLEOPATRA (1963) at the age of 5. In the top photo, it's Loris in HERCULES, SAMSON & ULYSSES. Loris is still alive and still acting.

One question: Did he play in VENGANCE OF URSUS?
No he didn't. That was Roberto Chevalier in VENGEANCE OF URSUS
Did he play the boy Homolke, in Le Gladiatrici (1963) aka Thor and the Amazon Women? I found an amazing resemblance with the boy at 7m33s of the English version, now on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3NwDfPqI_k
This blog is both entertaining and instructional. Thank you.
It wasn't Loris in THOR & THE AMAZON WOMEN. A different child actor.
Thank you. I wonder who he was, playing the role of a prince and all...
