Biography

Born in Pieve di Teco, Pannofino's parents originated from Locorotondo. Sometime after 1972, he and his family moved to Rome. In 1978, while waiting for a bus to take him to university so that he could undergo an algebra exam, Pannofino heard the sound of gunshots coming from a street nearby: what he heard was in fact Aldo Moro being kidnapped; [1] he would later write a song based on those events, Il sequestro di stato (i.e. State abduction), [2] which appears in the soundtrack of Felice Farina's 2014 film Patria featuring him in the main role.

Pannofino began his career as a theatre actor at some point between the late 1970s and the early 1980s and as a screen actor during the mid-90s, appearing in many films and television series through the years; [3] these include Giovanni Falcone – L'uomo che sfidò Cosa Nostra , in which he portrayed real life gangster Tommaso Buscetta, and Night Bus , starring Giovanna Mezzogiorno and Valerio Mastandrea, as well as the TV film Imperium: Pompeii . [4] He is especially known for the role of frustrated TV director René Ferretti in the satirical TV series Boris , also contributing to the soundtrack with his own song Ciak (Italian onomatopeia indicating the clapperboard used to demand action while filming). [5]

Pannofino is considered to be one of the most representative dubbers in the fifth generation of Italian voice actors [6] and has dubbed a great number of characters into the Italian language. [7] He is the official voice actor of George Clooney and Denzel Washington. Other actors he often or occasionally dubs include Kurt Russell, Wesley Snipes, Mickey Rourke, Dan Aykroyd, Antonio Banderas, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ray Winstone, Michael Madsen, Kiefer Sutherland, Daniel Day-Lewis and Kevin Spacey (the latter of which is mainly dubbed by Roberto Pedicini).

Pannofino performed the Italian voices of characters such as Rubeus Hagrid (portrayed by Robbie Coltrane) in the Harry Potter franchise (which includes narrating the official audiobooks), the Green Goblin (portrayed by Willem Dafoe) in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, Gil Grissom (portrayed by William Petersen) in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation , Budd (portrayed by Michael Masden) in Kill Bill: Volume 1 and Kill Bill: Volume 2 and the title character (portrayed by Tom Hanks) in Forrest Gump . In his animated roles, he performed the Italian voices of Papi in the Beverly Hills Chihuahua film series, The Red Guy in Cow and Chicken and I Am Weasel , Lrrr in the first five seasons of Futurama and many more. [8]

Personal life

Pannofino is married to actress and voice actress Emanuela Rossi, with whom he had a son, Andrea, who also became an actor and voice actor; the two actors separated in 2006, but later reunited and married a second time in 2011, although, by mutual agreement, the two chose not to live together again. [9] He is a fan of Lazio, a passion that he developed in the mid-70s when, as a teenager, he sold drinks in the stands of the Olympic stadium in Rome.
