Alessandro Rossi
Description
Alessandro Rossi is an Italian voice actor and dubbing director, born Ruggero Alessandro Rossi in Rome on October 12, 1955. He began his career on stage in 1976 before transitioning to voice work in 1983, where his deep and resonant voice became his signature. He is widely recognized for being the official Italian voice of actors such as Liam Neeson and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
In the realm of anime and animated series, Rossi has lent his voice to a wide array of characters. He is the Italian voice of Bem in the 1968 series Yōkai Ningen Bem (for its new dub), Demitri Maximoff in Night Warriors - Darkstalkers' Revenge, and Jack-2 in Tekken: The Motion Picture. He also voiced both characters Cowen and Koen in the new dub of Getter Robo: Armageddon. His other notable anime roles include Ryuk in Death Note, Batou in Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, Andreas Darlton in Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, and Quent Yaiden in Wolf's Rain. Beyond anime, he has voiced iconic characters in Western animation such as Goliath in Gargoyles, Zapp Brannigan in Futurama, Bruce in Finding Nemo, and AUTO in WALL-E.
Rossi's work is characterized by recurring collaborations with specific dubbing directors and studios in Italy, though his most consistent professional partnership is with the actors he dubs, most notably Liam Neeson and Arnold Schwarzenegger across their entire filmographies. He has also frequently voiced characters originally performed by actors like Samuel L. Jackson, Ving Rhames, and Patrick Stewart.
Among his notable achievements, Rossi has also worked extensively as a dialogue writer and dubbing director, overseeing the Italian dubbing for films such as The Social Network, Darkest Hour, and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. In July 2012, he was awarded the Leggio d'oro for Male Voice of the Year, one of the most prestigious awards in Italian dubbing.
