On 4 May, English actor and dubbing artist Roger Worrod will be a guest at the Spencer/Hill-World in Berlin. He lived in Italy in the 1970s and dubbed many Italian films for the international market. For example, he dubbed the gangster boss played by John Sharp in "Watch out, we're mad". Roger Worrod has also recorded the English-language audio guide for Spencer/Hill World. This evening he will talk about his work as a dubbing artist in Italy. A Q&A session and the screening of the international version of "Watch out, we're mad" will round off the evening.
Interesting information. Is anyone here planning on attending this event...?
When I was in contact with Worrod some time ago, he gave more or less the same account referred to earlier in this topic: that he dubbed John Sharpe in WATCH OUT and that he also dubbed
some of Bud Spencer's dialogue by imitating Richard McNamara's when McNamara was called away for some reason (actually, he remembers it as being Edward Mannix, but that's an understandable mistake to make after all these years). For what it's worth, I think Bud's voice in HIPPOPOTAMUS sounds very much like Worrod's but he himself denies having dubbed Bud in this film.
I also have a few English dubbing credits for THE SWORD AND THE CROSS:
- Jorge Mistral: Frank Latimore
- Massimo Serato: Michael Tor
- Philippe Hersent: Richard McNamara
Furthermore, Aldo Pini is dubbed by Geoffrey Copleston. Pini is currently not identified in the DB, but he is number 1 in the unknowns gallery (listed as 'Römischer Soldat' but in the English version at least he is referred to by the name Claudius Africus).
And speaking of Philippe Hersent, I have finally discovered that his wife, Geneviève Hersent, was the English voice of Mylène Demongeot in BIG MAN - A POLICY FOR HELL (in the other five BIG MAN movies, Mylène is dubbed by Carolyn de Fonseca). Geneviève did a lot of dubbing in both English, French and Italian and I've written a detailed bio for her on my dubbing blog, where I've also posted an interview I did with her:

Note that the IMDb seems to think that Geneviève is the same person as Celina Cely, but they are in fact two completely different people!
Also on the subject of BIG MAN, Mario Erpichini's English voice in BOOMERANG is dubbed by Leslie La Penna.
