I recently wrote an article on the mega babes who graced our screens in the Euro Cult days and it got me thinking - what about the men? There are a stable of Euro Cult male actor stalwarts who rarely receive a mention compared to our Euro Siren actresses. The women may provide ample thrills due to their feistiness and beautiful looks, but behind every good Euro Cult heroine, there is a Euro Cult actor. The actors listed below should be applauded for their services to Euro Cult cinema. They have fought off cannibals, vampires and zombies to solidify their reputations as true heroes of Cult cinema. I have picked 8 specimens for you to enjoy below. These are just a few names that came to me off the top of my head. I would be really chuffed if you could name me some more Euro Cult heroes in the comments section below...
8. Gabriele Tinti
Gabriele Tinti was an Italian actor who starred in many Euro Cult classics. He was also married to the delectable Laura 'Black Emanuelle' Gemser from 1976 to his death in 1991. The two frequently starred alongside each other in several cult movie classics. Finding information about Tinti is quite difficult, but he does have a fantastic filmography, with appearances in Black Emanuelle, Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals, Suor Emanuelle, Emanuelle in America (see a theme developing here?), Lisa and the Devil (in which he played the chauffeur who was having an affair with the female guest). His filmography is vast and includes straight acting as well as genre roles. His prolific acting is to be applauded - particularly when it comes to the Black Emanuelle films, which are some of the most interesting and titillating films in the Euro Cult canon.
