Which Way'd They Go? as Marcello Chabini the owner of the
bank in Paradise.
Didn't he do just great in Waste? He sure
convinced me he would have enjoyed killing any of them. Except for
Mark. These Mexican bandits sure liked Mark, remember Vaqueros?
Along with Lon Chaney he was know as a man with a thousand faces.
He was seen playing everything from a Mexican bandit, to a
Russian doctor, to a Japanese sailor.
Vito started out with a solo nightclub act, and was known as both a
suave magician and a fine mime. He was the most frequent visitor to
Gilligan's Island. He appeared in four episodes as the WWII Japanese
sailor and as Dr. Balinkoff. He was to be scheduled to portray a
pirate in the 4th season (before the show was canceled).
In addition to
his accomplishments as an actor, he was highly regarded as a
chef. Vito loved cooking, especially the recipes of his
beloved mother and grandmother. Two generations of
Hollywood's top names always left his dinner parties raving
about the food and wine.
He was the voice of Peppo the Italian cat in
The Aristicats.
I know you have seen Vito over and over again! You name - he's done
it!
