Constantin Brînzea is/was a Romanian actor who appeared in twelve films between 1977 and 1984. In most of his films his character roles were uncredited so unless you know what he looked like you’d never be able to recognize him in his role.

Constantin appeared in only one Euro-western and that was as Quick Arrow in the 1978 film “Artista, dolarii si Ardelenii” (The Actress, the Dollars and the Transylvanians) directed by Mircea Veroiu.
