 * Keep he surely passes WP:NACTOR as he had significant roles in multiple notable films, notably horror cult classics such as Umberto Lenzi's Cannibal Ferox, Ruggero Deodato's The House on the Edge of the Park, Antonio Margheriti's Cannibal Apocalypse. While researches are more difficult than usual as Google News archives does not work, however he also appears to pass WP:GNG: among the sources, the 2004 book Alternative Europe: Eurotrash and Exploitation Cinema Since 1945 has actually two whole chapters enterely focused on him ("Masochistic Cinesexuality: The Many Deaths of Giovanni Lombardo Radice" and "Male Masochism, Male Monsters: An Interview with Giovanni Lombardo Radice"). Especially the first chapter mentioned above is widely cited in books and publications. The German book Let's Talk: Im Gespräch mit acht bekannten, unbekannten Schauspielern has also a chapter about him (pp.47-61). He is among the actors interviewed in the book Il cinema italiano d'oggi, 1970-1984: raccontato dai suoi protagonisti.  Basically every book about 1980s Italian horror cinema considers him as one of the most representative actors of the genre. Notably, the Journal of British Cinema and Television in the Volume of July 2012 refers to him as an "international horror star of the past" and "a cult Italian regular". Scott Aaron Stine in The gorehound's guide to splatter films of the 1980s refers to him as a "luminary Italian screen star". Cavarrone  20:14, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
