Pino Colizzi

Giuseppe "Pino" Colizzi (born 12 November 1937) is an Italian actor and voice actor.

Biography
Born in Rome, Colizzi started his career on stage at 17 years old, then he gratuated at the Accademia Nazionale d'Arte Drammatica Silvio D'Amico and in 1960 he got his first major role, playing the title role in an Italian TV adaptation of Tom Jones. His career became more intense between the 1970s and the early 1980s, when he starred in a number of successful TV-series and genre films. In 1977 he was cast as Jobab in Franco Zeffirelli's TV series Jesus of Nazareth, also dubbing the main character, portrayed by Robert Powell, in the Italian version. Since the 1980s, Colizzi focused on his activities as a voice actor and dubbing director.

Colizzi was a successful voice-over artist, having regularly dubbed over the voices of Jack Nicholson, James Caan, Richard Dreyfuss, Omar Sharif and Franco Nero, also dubbing Michael Douglas (a role which he shared with Oreste Rizzini) in a select number of his films. Some of Colizzi's most popular dubbing contributions include Superman (played by Christopher Reeve) in the Italian dub of the first three films of the Superman film series until being replaced by Sergio Di Stefano in the fourth film. He also dubbed Sonny Corleone in The Godfather, Sonny and Vito Corleone in The Godfather Part II, and Hooper in Jaws. He was the Italian voice of the title character in Disney's animated film Robin Hood, Julius Caesar in Asterix the Gaul and a sport chronist in one of Goofy's shorts, Tennis Racquet. Colizzi also supervised the dubbing process for all of Franco Zeffirelli's films.

In 1999, he performed alongside Maggie Smith, Cher and Judi Dench in Tea with Mussolini and kept acting in cinema until the 2010s, when he decided to focus his career on literature.

From his relationship with ex-wife Manuela Andrei, Colizzi is the father of voice actress Chiara Colizzi.
