Sergio Ciani, best known as Alan Steel (born 7 September 1935), is an Italian former bodybuilder and actor.
Born in Rome, Ciani started his career as a stuntman, then he became the body double of 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]
