Sergio Ciani (7 September 1935 – 5 September 2015), best known as Alan Steel, was an Italian bodybuilder and actor.
Born in Rome, Ciani started his career as a stuntman, then he became the body double for Steve Reeves in Hercules Unchained and in The Giant of Marathon, in which he also played a minor role.[1] From early sixties he adopted the stage name Alan Steel and starred the leading roles in a number of peplum films of good commercial success.[1] With the decline of the genre Steel thinned out his appearances, until his retirement at the end of the Seventies.[1]
Ciani died in his sleep at his house in Ostia, Rome, aged 79 just 2 days short of what would have been his 80th birthday.[2]
