Antonio Sanna is an esteemed Italian voice actor and dubber, widely recognized for his prolific work in film, television, and animation. Born on July 20, 1950, in Siligo, Sardinia, he began his artistic journey in theater, training at the Centro di Iniziativa Teatrale in Cagliari before moving to Rome to pursue acting professionally. His entry into dubbing was somewhat serendipitous, initially serving to fill gaps between theater engagements, but it quickly became a central part of his career. While he is the official Italian voice for numerous Hollywood stars, including Antonio Banderas, Kenneth Branagh, and Gary Sinise, Sanna has also built a significant body of work within the realm of anime, lending his distinctive and versatile voice to a wide array of characters in projects dubbed for the Italian market.

Sanna's filmography in anime is extensive and features prominent roles in several high-profile productions. Notably, he has voiced characters in a trilogy of films adapted from the works of the late author Project Itoh. In the 2015 steampunk science fiction film The Empire of Corpses, he provided the voice for M, the enigmatic commander of the British intelligence agency "Walsingham". That same year, in the psychological science fiction film Harmony, he voiced the character Asaf. He continued his association with Project Itoh's works by taking on the role of Rockwell in the 2017 film Genocidal Organ, a dark military sci-fi thriller.

Beyond these films, Sanna has been involved in major anime franchises. He voiced the character Robson Zuccoli in the 2016 television special Lupin III Italian Game, which is part of the long-running Lupin III series. His other anime credits span a variety of genres and eras. He has voiced characters in classic and modern series alike, including David Mad-Thane in Last Exile, Marcello in Gunslinger Girl, Buran Brutarch in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, and roles in Samurai Champloo and Paranoia Agent. He also contributed to the Italian dubs of OVAs such as Blue Submarine No. 6 and Violence Jack.

Throughout his anime dubbing career, Antonio Sanna has frequently collaborated with Italian distributors like Yamato Video, which has been responsible for releasing many of these titles in Italy. His work is characterized by a professional consistency and an ability to bring depth to a wide range of characters, from military commanders and scientists to historical figures and villains. A notable achievement in his broader dubbing career includes being the voice of Gary Sinise's Lieutenant Dan in the Oscar-winning film Forrest Gump, a role he considers particularly fortunate. For his extensive contributions, he is respected within the Italian dubbing industry, as documented by sources like Il mondo dei doppiatori. Sanna's enduring presence in both live-action dubbing and anime demonstrates his significant and versatile talent, making him a familiar and respected voice for Italian audiences.
