Elio Pandolfi (17 June 1926 – 11 October 2021) was an Italian stage, film and television actor, voice actor, and radio personality.
Life and career
[edit | edit source]Born in Rome, Pandolfi got a degree in accounting, and then enrolled at the Silvio d’Amico Academy of Dramatic Arts graduating in 1948.[1] He debuted on stage the same year, and was mainly active in theater, including operetta, musical theatre and revue.[1] Pandolfi appeared as a character actor in a number of films, mainly in humorous roles,[1] and was known for his skills as an impressionist, imitating other people (both men and women), foreign accents, and languages.[2] Pursuing a career as a voice actor and dubber,[1] he was renowned for his ability in dubbing even female roles effectively, which sometimes led him to provide post-syncronized dialogue of a few Italian actresses.[2][3][4] With some help from Marcello Mastroianni, later described by Pandolfi as "the best friend I ever had", he met and got to work with Federico Fellini, who hired him to voice many characters in films such as La dolce vita and 8½.[3]
Pandolfi died on 11 October 2021, at the age of 95.[5][6]
