Biography

An actor with a career spanning over 65 years, performing for the theatre, films, television, and radio shows, he became well known to the audiences for his voice work in animation.[2] Because of his coarse, raspy voice, he was typically known for voicing elderly characters in cartoons, movies and other entertainment.[3] He was known for being the official Italian voice of Grampa Simpson[4] in The Simpsons from 1991 until his retirement in 2012 (except for the young Abraham, for which he alternated with the official Italian Homer voice, Tonino Accolla).[5] He has also been the first Italian voice of Herbert from Family Guy and dubbed Fred Flintstone for many years.[6]

    Since 2004, however, his voice had begun to weaken over time, causing it to become feeble and almost unrecognizable in his last years of activity.

    In Italian dubs of live action films, Milita dubbed actors such as Desmond Llewelyn, Ed Williams and Brian Doyle-Murray. He provided the voice of Amos Tupper (portrayed by Tom Bosley) in a few episodes of Murder, She Wrote and Old Man Peabody (portrayed by Will Hare) in Back to the Future.

    In 2011, a year before his retirement, he released an interview.

    Retirement and death

    After Milita retired in 2012, he passed on the roles of Grampa Simpson and Herbert to Mino Caprio[6] and Valerio Ruggeri[7] respectively and he died on 22 August 2017 at the age of 94, of natural causes.[8]
