Lou Castel

Lou Castel is a Swedish actor who became internationally known through his work in Italian films. He had his breakthrough role in Marco Bellocchio's Fists in the Pocket (1965), which was followed by several spaghetti westerns, in particular Carlo Lizzani's Requiescant (1967) and Damiano Damiani's A Bullet for the General (1967), and the drama Come Play with Me (1968). Castel's career in Italy was disrupted in the early 1970s by his far-left activism but he later had a long career as a character actor in European cinema.
