Guy Delorme (May 23, 1929 - December 26, 2005) was a French actor and stuntman.
He was an expert in horse riding and fencing, two skills that made him a go-to guy for 1950s-1960s French swashbuckler productions set in The Cavalier Years. In these films, he pretty much always played villains, most often the perfidious Dragon, opposing The Hero played by the likes of Jean Marais and Gérard Barray.
He worked in the teams of famous sword master and stunt coordinator Claude Carliez. Along with his stunt and supporting role credits, he's had small uncredited roles from the 1950s up to the late 1980s.
