Walter Frank Hermann Wolff (May 11, 1928 - December 12, 1971) was an American actor born in San Francisco who launched his career in Roger Corman's low-budget productions before relocating to Europe, where he appeared in more than fifty films across the 1960s - spaghetti westerns, gialli, and crime thrillers, mostly made in Italy. He earned wider recognition with a supporting role in Elia Kazan's Oscar-nominated America, America (1963) and is best remembered today as the doomed farmer Brett McBain in Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West (1968). He died in Rome at the age of 43.
