Biography

edit

Born in Rome, Dal Fabbro is the son of actors Nino Dal Fabbro and Vanna Polverosi. As a theatre actor, Dal Fabbro has worked with directors such as Dacia Maraini, Vittorio Gassman, Elio Petri, Andrzej Wajda, and Giorgio Albertazzi, also directing some plays himself. He even acted in some Italian TV shows and had a role in Mario Monicelli's 1976 film Caro Michele and well as the first episode of the 1975 miniseries Ritratto di donna velata.

Dal Fabbro contributes to voicing characters in cartoons, TV commercials, and more content, also providing voice acting work for the radio industry. He is well known for serving as the primary Italian-dubbed voice of Steve Buscemi. He has also dubbed other actors such as William H. Macy, Bruno Kirby, Joe Pantoliano and others. His character dubbing roles include Ephialtes (portrayed by Andrew Tiernan) in 300 and the 2014 sequel, as well as Steve Brady (portrayed by David Eigenberg) in seasons 2 and 3 of Sex and the City and the subsequent movies.

In his animated roles, Dal Fabbro has provided the voice of the character Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz in the Italian-language version of the animated series Phineas and Ferb and since 2002, he has voiced Piglet in the Italian dub of the Winnie the Pooh franchise. Some of his other animated roles include Wayne in the Hotel Transylvania franchise, Randall Boggs in Monsters University (replacing the late Daniele Formica, who voiced him in the first film) and Bing Bong in Inside Out. In the English-dubbed version of Matteo Garrone's 2019 film, Pinocchio, Dal Fabbro performed the voices of all three characters portrayed by Davide Marotta: the Talking Cricket, the Pantalone marionette, and one of the rabbits.[2]

Dal Fabbro has one son, Paolo, who also works as a voice actor. He has worked for Dubbing Brothers, CDC Sefit Group, LaBibi.it and other dubbing studios in Italy.
