Cesare Barbetti

Cesare Barbetti (29 September 1930 – 13 September 2006) was an Italian actor and voice actor.

Born in Palermo to parents who were both actors, Barbetti started off his career as a child actor during the Fascist era in 1934 making an uncredited appearance in The Three-Cornered Hat. After his career as a child actor ended, Barbetti became a very successful voice actor and dubber, dubbing foreign-language films for the Italian market. He was the official Italian voice of Robert Redford.

Other actors Barbetti was known for dubbing also included Robert Duvall, Warren Beatty, Steve McQueen, Kevin Kline, Steve Martin, Rutger Hauer and Dick Van Dyke. He was recognised for voicing Ken Hutch in the Italian version of Starsky & Hutch. In Barbetti's animated roles, he served as the Italian voice of Doc Hudson in the Pixar film Cars, which was one of his final dubbing contributions. Despite being well known as a voice actor, he still did continue his career as a film and television actor.

In July 2006, Barbetti was involved in a car crash. This resulted in him suffering a severe brain injury and he died two months later just 16 days short of his 76th birthday.
