 Ostia, Italy — Italian actor Sergio Ciana, sometimes billed as Alan Steel, died in his sleep at his home here Sept. 5, two days short of his 80th birthday. MSTies will recall that he played Hercules (really Maciste) in the movie in episode 410- HERCULES AGAINST THE MOON MEN and also had a small role in the movie in 408- HERCULES UNCHAINED. So far only Italian web sites are reporting it, but when an English obit is posted we’ll update with a link.
Thanks to Bobbie for the heads up. Ethan Alter of Yahoo TV has a suggestion of what to binge this weekend, and it turns out to be our favorite cowtown puppet show.
