Which actor played Major Domizlaff


Does anyone know which actor played Major Dobbrick, the commanding officer of the German SS-platoon ambushed in Rome? He only has a fairly minor part in the movie after the explosion although he is summoned to Kappler's office and refuses to co-operate with the executions and is threatened with court martial.

I've seen his face somewhere before but can't put a name to the actor.

Any help would be appreciated.

The cast list says it was Anthony Steel, in one of his minor roles after he slipped from his "beefcake" stardom of the 1950s. Some of his later roles were in sexploitation movies. When I first glimpsed him in "Massacre in Rome", I wondered if he was wearing a toupee, but in his earlier firms he always sported a very thick mass of hair (incongruously dyed blond in "The Black Tent).

It's a mystery to me how some people know how to register for this site so they can post on the forums but don't know how to find an actor's name in the cast list...

There is some confusion here because the title of this thread and the original question don't match.

The thread TITLE asks about Major DOMIZLAFF, who is played by Anthony Steel - but he is not the character described by the questioner.

However, the name of the character in the OP's QUESTION is Major DOBBRICK (who is indeed the leader of the SS patrol and the one who refuses to carry out the massacre). The character name isn't, at the time of writing, linked to an actor on IMDB.
