Elio Pandolfi (17 June 1926 – 11 October 2021) was an Italian stage, film and television actor, voice actor, and radio personality.

Life and career

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've 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]
