# Ivano Staccioli

Ivano Staccioli (3 January 1927 – 15 July 1995) was an Italian film actor.

Staccioli made 70 appearances between 1960 and 1991, mostly in film. He is best known for his appearances in historical adventures and action or western films in the 1960s. Particularly in the early 1960s he appeared in many gladiatorial films or ancient epics. In 1965 he starred in the western 30 Winchester per El Diablo and A 008, operazione Sterminio, a spoof of the James Bond genre.

In the mid to late 1960s he was often credited as John Heston for Italian films dubbed for the American audience, particularly his westerns. He also appeared in a number of Italian giallo films, such as La morte accarezza a mezzanotte and The Flower with the Petals of Steel. Two of his last films before retiring were controversial Nazi death camp films, KZ9 and SS Girls, both directed by Bruno Mattei.
