Biography

Born in Rome, Acerbo began his dubbing career as a child. Among his most earliest roles include Michael Banks (portrayed by Matthew Garber) in the 1964 film Mary Poppins. He also served as the Italian voice of Patch in One Hundred and One Dalmatians, Hathi Jr. in The Jungle Book and Kurt Von Trapp in The Sound of Music.[2]

Even as an adult, Acerbo continued dubbing characters into the Italian language. He is the official Italian voice of Brad Pitt and Will Smith as well as occasionally dubbing Hugh Grant, Dan Aykroyd, Robert Downey Jr., Matthew Broderick, Val Kilmer, Michael J. Fox and Timothy Hutton in some of their movies.[3] Acerbo is most popular for voicing Marty McFly in the last two films of the Back to the Future film series, replacing Teo Bellia. He also became the new voice dubber of Eddie Murphy after the death of Tonino Accolla in 2013 even though the role was passed on to him in 2009.
