Giovanni "Gianni" Musy (3 August 1931 – 7 October 2011) was an Italian actor and voice actor.

Biography

[edit]

Born in Milan, the son of actors Enrico Glori and Gianna Pacetti, he started working as a child actor at eleven years old[1] and studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti in his hometown.[1] Starting from the late 1950s, Musy began an intense activity as a character actor, often being cast in villainous roles.[1] Musy became best known through his television work, notably the RAI TV series La freccia nera, Le inchieste del commissario Maigret, E le stelle stanno a guardare and Dov'è Anna?.[1][2] Also remembered for playing distinctive characters in some of his film work,[2] in 1993 Musy portrayed Sicilian mafioso Tommaso Buscetta in Giuseppe Ferrara's film Giovanni Falcone; despite panning the end result, critics still praised the actors.[3]

Musy was also very active and appreciated as a voice dubbing artist.[1][2][3] He provided the Italian-dubbed voice of Dumbledore (portrayed by Richard Harris and Michael Gambon) in the Harry Potter film franchise as well as Gandalf (portrayed by Ian McKellen) in The Lord of the Rings. He sometimes dubbed actors such as Charlton Heston, Christopher Plummer, and George Peppard. In his animated roles, Musy voiced Giuseppe Garibaldi in the Italian film L'eroe dei due mondi, directed by Guido Manuli in 1994 and served as the Italian voice of Zeus in Hercules and Billy Bones in Treasure Planet.[4]

Musy died before being able to post-syncronize his own dialogue for his final film role, so in The Day of the Siege: September Eleven 1683 Sergio Graziani's voice is heard instead of his.[4]

Personal life

[edit]

From his marriage to actress Rada Rassimov, he had two daughters, Mascia, who works as a stage actress, and Stella, who works as a voice dubbing actress.

Death

[edit]

Musy died in Mentana of a long illness on October 7, 2011 at the age of 80.
