Biography

The esteemed biography of a round-faced, high-hairlined stuntman, whose acting career began with bit parts in iconic Italian Westerns. This talented individual's athletic abilities did not go unnoticed, as he was soon awarded large supporting roles and even a few starring roles in low-budget Westerns, often opposite the renowned Gordon Mitchell.

Despite the decline of the Spaghetti Western genre, Pacifico adapted seamlessly, transitioning from leading man to character actor and stunt coordinator. Throughout his illustrious career, he bounced between the major Italian studios, earning recognition for his small but memorable roles as a "thug" or "henchman" in countless Italian crime and action films.

Pacifico frequently collaborated with fellow stunt and character actors Giovanni Cianfriglia and Nello Pazzafini, who also made significant contributions to the Italian film industry. Even in retirement, Pacifico still resides in Italy, where his son Claudio Pacifico continues the family tradition as a skilled stunt coordinator, carrying on the legacy of his father's remarkable career.
