question about an actor towards the end...


Does anyone know who the actor was that is talking at the end of the film about his master being dead and them sailing off. He asks Martin Potter if he is coming with them. Any ideas?

I think he resembles the tallest actor in the theatre troupe wearing the white apparel at the banquet of Trimalcione that provides the brief recitation from Homer, although it seems impossible to tell whether they are actually the same man.

Ironically, both characters appear to provide a counterpoint of moral purity against the corresponding decadent feasts.

His name is Carlo Giordana but I couldn't find much information in English.
If you can understand Italian, have a look at :

I saw this film when it first came out, and I still remember the blue of Carlo's eyes.
