Mario Brega (25 March 1923 – 23 July 1994) was an Italian character actor. His heavy build meant that he regularly portrayed a thug in his films, particularly earlier in his career in westerns. Later in his career, however, he featured in numerous Italian comedy films. Brega stood at 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and well over 250 pounds (110 kg) at his heaviest but after the 1960s slimmed down significantly. Brega was born in Rome. He was a butcher before he drifted into acting, where his heavy physique ensured him a plethora of character roles. Debuting with director Dino Risi, he then played some minor roles in Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Western movies: A Fistful of Dollars, as Chico; For a Few Dollars More, as Niño; The Good, the Bad and the Ugly as Corporal Wallace; and also as a gangster in Once Upon a Time in America. He appeared in many other Spaghetti Westerns, including Death Rides a Horse, The Great Silence, and My Name is Nobody. Later in his career he had comical roles with director Carlo Verdone, such as in Un sacco bello and Talcum Powder. He died of heart attack in Rome in 1994.

Mario Brega (25. März 1923 – 23. Juli 1994) war ein italienischer Charakterdarsteller. Aufgrund seiner kräftigen Statur verkörperte er in seinen Filmen, insbesondere zu Beginn seiner Karriere in Western, häufig den Ganoven. Später wirkte er jedoch in zahlreichen italienischen Komödien mit. Brega war 1,93 m groß und wog zu seinen schwersten Zeiten weit über 110 kg, nahm aber nach den 1960er Jahren deutlich ab. Brega wurde in Rom geboren. Bevor er zur Schauspielerei kam, arbeitete er als Metzger. Seine imposante Statur sicherte ihm eine Vielzahl von Charakterrollen. Nach seinem Debüt unter der Regie von Dino Risi spielte er einige kleinere Rollen in Sergio Leones Spaghetti-Western: „Für eine Handvoll Dollar“ als Chico, „Für ein paar Dollar mehr“ als Niño, „Zwei glorreiche Halunken“ als Corporal Wallace und einen Gangster in „Es war einmal in Amerika“. Er wirkte in zahlreichen weiteren Spaghetti-Western mit, darunter „Der Tod reitet ein Pferd“, „Leichen pflastern seinen Weg“ und „Mein Name ist Niemand“. Später in seiner Karriere übernahm er komische Rollen unter der Regie von Carlo Verdone, beispielsweise in „Un sacco bello“ und „Talkumpuder“. Er starb 1994 in Rom an einem Herzinfarkt.

Итальянский актёр. Его тяжелая фактура предопределила его появление на экране в образах бандитов, особенно в начале кинокарьеры, когда Брега много снимался в вестернах. Позже в его карьере, однако, произошли изменения, и он также фигурирует в многочисленных итальянских комедиях.
