Massimo Giuliani (born 5 February 1951) is an Italian actor, voice actor and impressionist.[1]
Biography[edit]
Born in Rome, Giuliani began his career at four years of age in the 1956 film Supreme Confession. He had an intensifying experience as a child actor throughout the 1950s and 1960s on cinema and television and also voiced Arthur in the Italian-Language dub of the 1963 animated film The Sword in the Stone. This marked Giuliani's first dubbing contribution.[2]
As a voice actor, Giuliani is well known for providing the Italian voice of Fozzie Bear in The Muppets as well as Buck from the Ice Age film series. From 1996 to 2007 he provided the Italian voice of Bugs Bunny, until he passed on the role to Davide Garbolino. Giuliani has also dubbed Mel Gibson, Dudley Moore, John Belushi, Billy Crystal, John Candy, Andy García and Warwick Davis in some of their projects.[3]
Giuliani is also an avid football fan. In the 1960s, he participated in a football youth squad but he left after four months due to his obligations as a child actor. In the early 2000s, he sparked controversy for impersonating footballer Francesco Totti on the show Convenscion.[4] He has also made appearances in La Partita del cuore.
Personal life[edit]
Giuliani is married to dubbing director Tiziana Lattuca. He is also the father of voice actor Daniele Giuliani and the uncle of voice actress Claudia Catani.
