In the same year he was one of the actors who appeared in the war documentary Ninna nanna, papà sta in guerra by Amedeo Castellazzi . He was in front of the camera for two short films by Nando Tamberlani in 1947 as well as for numerous genre films from the post-war period until well into the heyday of Italian commercial cinema in the 1960s. For some of the adventure and action productions aimed at the international market, he adopted the pseudonym Fidel Green .

Occasionally Gentile was also active as a voice actor, less often for radio, the stage or television.
