Roberto Pedicini (born 18 January 1962) is an Italian actor and voice actor. [3]
Born in Benevento from humble parents, Pedicini and his family moved to Pescara when he was young. Still a teenager, he made most of his living as a wandering street performer, singing while accompanying himself with the guitar, [4] also working as a radio host. [5] In 1980, he moved to Rome pursuing a career in acting and dubbing. He was soon cast as a voice actor in many roles, while his onscreen acting debut happened 8 years later, in Lamberto Bava's horror cable series Brivido Giallo .
Pedicini is thus best known as a voice dubber, serving as the official Italian voice actor of Kevin Spacey and Jim Carrey; he also regularly dubs Woody Harrelson, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Temuera Morrison and Ricky Gervais in most of their movies. He has provided voice acting work for the radio industry and audiobooks.
Pedicini has dubbed both Sylvester the Cat and the Tasmanian Devil from 1996 until 2022 and has been the official Italian voice of Goofy since 1999 (replacing Vittorio Amandola), as well as dubbing Timon in most of his cartoon appearances, Phoebus in The Hunchback of Notre Dame , Hopper in A Bug's Life and Gaston in Beauty and the Beast , also voicing Scarpa/Rocko the Burglar in the Italian animated film How the Toys Saved Christmas . He has even dubbed characters in video games. [6]
In 1999, Pedicini was awarded a Nastro d'Argento for Best Dubbing due to his contribution to the Italian-dubbed edition of Woody Allen's film Celebrity , where he provided Kenneth Branagh's dub voice as Lee Simon, and Peter Weir's The Truman Show , having dubbed Jim Carrey in the role of Truman Burbank. [7]
In 2015, Pedicini took part in Jordan Ledy's documentary about the Italian dubbing industry, It's Better in Italian, [8] and performed Stanley Kubrick's off-screen voice in S Is for Stanley . Since 2018 he has announced the David di Donatello awards ceremony.
