Massimo Corvo (born 9 July 1959) is an Italian actor and voice actor.[1]
Biography
Born in Rome, Corvo started his career as a child actor, appearing in TV commercials, and films: in 1963 he took part in Federico Fellini's 8½[2] and Marco Ferreri's The Conjugal Bed, although the scene involving him in the latter did not make it to the final cut.[3] Corvo has also acted in theatre, radio, and several television shows, most notably Il capitano, Butta la luna, and Squadra antimafia – Palermo oggi.
He has been most active in voice dubbing since the late 1980s[4] and has dubbed a number of animated Disney roles, including the Beast in Beauty and the Beast, Shan-Yu in Mulan, Bloat in Finding Nemo, Pete in Mickey Mouse's cartoons, and Jafar in Aladdin. In addition, he dubs over Gendo Ikari in the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. Corvo also voiced the Crow in Enzo D'Alò's 2012 film Pinocchio; coincidentally, "Corvo" precisely means "Crow" in Italian.[5]
Corvo has become the official Italian voice of Sylvester Stallone since the death of Ferruccio Amendola in 2001 as well as dubbing over the voices of Laurence Fishburne and Jean Reno in most of their roles. He is also a regular voice actor for Forest Whitaker, Sean Bean, Tom Sizemore, Vin Diesel, Samuel L. Jackson, Jeff Bridges, Patrick Bergin, Benicio del Toro, Andy Serkis, Bruce Willis, and has dubbed the title character (portrayed by Tony Todd) in the first two Candyman films, and others.
