He is known for starring roles in Italian sword-and-sandal films and Spaghetti Westerns after moving to Italy in the early 1960s. Born in Denver, Colorado, Mitchell served in the US Army during the Second World War, where he was taken prisoner, and later during the Korean War. He obtained a degree from the University of Southern California and worked as a high school teacher and guidance counsellor in Los Angeles before becoming involved in bodybuilding and appearing as an extra in several Hollywood films. Mitchell found success in Italy in peplum films and remained there to work in other genres. His credits include *Fellini Satyricon* (1969) as Il predone, *Spartacus* (1960) and *Rio Bravo* (1959) in uncredited roles, and later films such as *The Umbrella Coup* (1980). *Sources: en.wikipedia.org, imdb.com.* ## On Fi1m (3) ### Performed in (2) — the average rests on these - *Satyricon* (1969), Fi1m 65, as Il predone — [page](https://film.one/film/satyricon.md) - *The Man with the Golden Arm* (1955), Fi1m 78, Actor — [page](https://film.one/film/the-man-with-the-golden-arm.md) ### Also credited (1) — thanks, archive footage, uncredited - *Rio Bravo* (1959), Fi1m 88, as Bar Cowboy Watching Fistfight (uncredited) — [page](https://film.one/film/rio-bravo.md) ## Complete filmography (136) Every credit, newest first.
