He continued appearing in French films until 1949 when he was third-billed in the Italian film “Cuori senza frontiere” (The White Line) with Gina Lollobrigida and Raf Vallone. Crisa then began making appearances in Peplum films during the 1950s. He was a star of the Sadistik photo novels during the 1960s and also acted in Spaghetti Westerns and spy films, sometimes using the alias James Parker.
