Francisco Javier "Saverio" Moriones (born 27 June 1943) is an Italian actor and voice actor.[1]
Born in Rome to a Spanish father and an Italian mother, Moriones began his career on the children's television show Giocagiò until its cancellation in 1969 but he is more known as a voice dubber. Because of his Spanish origin, Moriones often dubs characters with Hispanic accents and ethnicities. Some of the actors he dubs includes Richard Dean Anderson as the title character of the show MacGyver as well as Joe Pesci in the first two films of the Home Alone franchise.[2]
Moriones is also the regular Italian voice dubbing actor of Danny Trejo. In his animated roles, he voiced Roadkill in the Italian-Language dub of Rango as well as Chicharrón in the Italian-Language dub of Coco. He has even dubbed Slinky Dog in Toy Story 4 following the death of Piero Tiberi in 2013.
Moriones was once married to Elisabetta Bonino, whom he met on the set of Giocagiò. Together, they have one daughter, Amparo and a son, Simon. He also has an additional daughter named Arianna with his current wife Germana Tucci.
