Carlo Reali (born 6 December 1930) is an Italian actor, voice actor, and film editor.
Biography Born in Padua, Reali was a frequent visitor of the many theatres across Rome before his career began. He eventually found his place working onstage as an actor and director and acting in the cinema, starring in films that would later become international successes such as La Cage aux Folles, also sharing the screen with Bud Spencer in several of his films.
Prior to his acting career, Reali worked as an editor from 1969 to 1979. He notably edited four films directed by Italian horror maestro Mario Bava: A Bay of Blood, Baron Blood, Lisa and the Devil, and Rabid Dogs.
As a voice actor, he has dubbed over many actors in Italian, including Steve Martin, Eli Wallach, Bob Hoskins, Danny DeVito, Michael Keaton, Don Ameche and Tim Curry. He has gained recognition for voicing Palpatine (portrayed by Ian McDiarmid) in the Italian version of the Star Wars franchise since 1999 as well as Bob Kelso (portrayed by Ken Jenkins) in the Italian version of Scrubs. Reali has also done dubbing work for Disney. For example, he has voiced Horace Horsecollar in the Italian version of The Prince and the Pauper as well as Captain Hook in his follow-up appearances.
In English, Reali has dubbed Cecconi the Seller and the Innkeeper of the Red Prawn, portrayed physically by actors Sergio Forconi and Marcello Marziali respectively, in Matteo Garrone's 2019 film Pinocchio.
