Pino Colizzi, 1937 – 2026

Italian actor Giuseppe "Pino" Colizzi, 88, died on Feb. 15 in his home town of Rome. The handsome matinee idol became a star in 1960 with the Italian TV version of Tom Jones; he went on to appear in numerous movies and TV shows (among his US-released hits were Jesus of Nazareth and Tea with Mussolini). Colizzi also became one of Italy’s busiest voice-dubbers, providing the Italian voices of Jack Nicholson, James Caan, Richard Dreyfuss, Omar Sharif, and Michael Douglas, and such characters as Superman, Sonny Corleone, and Vito Corleone, as well as Disney’s Goofy. One of his children, Chiara Colizzi, is also a voice actress.
