Francesco Pannofino (born 14 November 1958) is an Italian actor and voice actor.
Biography
Born in Pieve di Teco, Pannofino's parents originated from Locorotondo. Sometime after 1972, he and his family moved to Rome. In 1978, while waiting for a bus to take him to university so that he could undergo an algebra exam, Pannofino heard the sound of gunshots coming from a street nearby: what he heard was in fact Aldo Moro being kidnapped; he would later write a song based on those events, Il sequestro di stato (i.e. State abduction), which appears in the soundtrack of Felice Farina's 2014 film Patria featuring him in the main role.
Pannofino began his career as a theatre actor somewhen between the late 1970s and the early 1980s and as a screen actor in the mid-90s, appearing in many films and television programs through the years; these include Giovanni Falcone – L'uomo che sfidò Cosa Nostra, in which he portrayed real life gangster Tommaso Buscetta, and Night Bus, starring Giovanna Mezzogiorno and Valerio Mastandrea, as well as the TV film Imperium: Pompeii. He is especially known for the role of frustrated TV director René Ferretti in the satirical TV series Boris, also contributing to the soundtrack with his own song Ciak (Italian onomatopeia indicating the clapperboard used to demand action while filming).
Pannofino is considered to be one of the most representative dubbers in the fifth generation of Italian voice actors and has dubbed a great number of characters in Italian. He is the official voice actor of George Clooney and Denzel Washington. Other actors he often or occasionally dubs include Kurt Russell, Wesley Snipes, Mickey Rourke, Dan Aykroyd, Antonio Banderas, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ray Winstone, Michael Madsen, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Kevin Spacey (mainly dubbed by Roberto Pedicini). Pannofino performed the Italian voices of characters such as Rubeus Hagrid in the Harry Potter franchise (which includes narrating the official audiobooks), the Green Goblin in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, Gil Grissom in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Budd in Kill Bill: Volume 1 and Kill Bill: Volume 2, Forrest Gump in Forrest Gump, The Red Guy in Cow and Chicken/I Am Weasel and many more.
Personal life
Pannofino is married to actress and voice actress Emanuela Rossi, with whom he had a son, Andrea, who also became an actor and voice actor; the two actors separated in 2006, but later reunited and married a second time in 2011, although, by mutual agreement, the two chose not to live together again. He is a fan of Lazio, a passion that he developed in the mid-70s when, as a teenager, he sold drinks in the stands of the Olympic stadium in Rome.
