interested in the project as it involved Claudia Cardinale and was
"directed by the great Visconti". Bos then began to star in Westerns,

actors being obliged to take on American pseudonyms. He initially

agree on Glenn Saxson. Bos would go on to play on of the many Django
characters in Italian cinema, including starring in Django Shoots

Umberto Lenzi who Bos recalled wanted an younger character to portray
Kriminal than he was presented in the comics. Bos would warned in

that "working with Lenzi was easy". Bos would return for the sequel
film Il marchio di Kriminal released in 1967 and directed by Fernando
Cerchio.Italian film historian and critic Roberto Curti described
Curti's career became "somehow stagnated" after the two Kriminal. He
followed them with the jungle adventure film Luana, the Girl Tarzan

massacro, and Carogne si nasce. Towards the end of the 1960s, he began
starring in German sex comedies directed by Franz Antel and Sergio
Bergonzelli such as School of Erotic Enjoyment before stopping his
acting career. Bos explained that he had "more artistic ideas in mind"
and began producing during the 1970s. and began work with the
television company which produced programs for RAI and the television
film Donnarumma all'assalto. Among the films Bos produced were The
Profiteer by Sergio Nasca which was shown at Film Festivals around the
world including Cannes, San Francisco Brussels and Chicago. Bos then
produced Nasca's next film Vergine e di nome Maria which also was
shown at various film festivals, but received complaints from censors
with Bos exclaiming "for no reason at all because the film was not at
all blasphemous as they claimed." Glenn Saxson Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
