He was the official Italian voice of James Stewart as well as Cary Grant, Dean Martin and Errol Flynn.[4] He also dubbed over the voices of John Garfield, George Raft, Richard Conte, Kirk Douglas, Paul Henreid, Henry Fonda, Gary Merrill, John Wayne, Arthur Kennedy, William Holden and many more. He has also dubbed over Italian actors such as Vittorio Gassman, Luciano Tajoli and Pietro Germi.
