Biography
editBorn in Rome, Rinaldi appeared in more than 20 films between 1939 and 1982. During his time, he was considered to be one of the greatest dubbers in Italy.[2] He provided the Italian voices of Marlon Brando, Jack Lemmon, Rock Hudson, Paul Newman, Van Johnson and James Dean. Other actors dubbed by him included Peter Sellers, Frank Sinatra, Glenn Ford, David Tomlinson, Richard Burton, George Peppard, Burt Lancaster, Charles Bronson, Kirk Douglas, Gregory Peck, Roger Moore, Jeffrey Hunter, Max von Sydow, and Christopher Plummer.[3]
In Rinaldi's animated film roles, he voiced Bruno Bozzetto's character Mr. Rossi in two films and a TV show, Pongo in the Italian dub of the 1961 animated film One Hundred and One Dalmatians as well as Prince Charming in the Italian version of Cinderella. Other animated dubbing roles included Jim Dear in Lady and the Tramp, The Great Prince of the Forest in the 1968 redub of Bambi and Dallben in The Black Cauldron. He also voiced Jolly Jumper in the 1991 live-action film Lucky Luke and in the following short-lived TV series (in the English language edition, the same character was voiced by Roger Miller).
