Thank you, I will read through those and will add whatever information I can to their biographies.Johan Melle wrote: ↑05/05/2024, 14:36Having now looked at Colpo gobbo all'italiana, I discovered that Burt is dubbed in Italian with an American accent by Frank Latimore. Clearly, someone assumed this was Burt's real voice and have added on Wikipedia and IMDb that he dubbed the disguised FBI agent in I ladri, but it's really Latimore who dubbed both roles.PeplumParadise wrote: ↑01/04/2024, 0:37Thanks, that at least adds a bit more to his biography. The topic is still in progress, I was going to look for that doc in the morningJohan Melle wrote: ↑01/04/2024, 0:06
Yes, that dubbing credit is for I ladri (1959), and more specifically for Armando Calvo's voice during the scenes where he is in disguise as an FBI agent, spoken in Italian but with an American accent by what is clearly a real American. Italian Wikipedia says Burt Nelson is doing the voice, whereas the Mondo Dei Doppiatori website says it's Richard McNamara. They're actually both wrong, as the one doing the voice is Frank Latimore, whose voice I know very well.
No idea where the information that it was Burt Nelson could come from, but I figured it was worth investigating if Nelson may have done some dubbing, and apparently he did. I asked Rodd Dana, and he described Nelson as a "Hollywood he-man type who created “Popeyes” Marburger Restaurant on the Via Veneto. Did some acting and dubbing". That's all I know.
Btw, your filmography for Burt Nelson is missing Erinnerung an einen Sommer in Berlin (1972), a West German semi-documentary made for TV.
Anyway, I managed to find two newspaper articles that contain some more biographical information about Burt.
This is from Twin City Sentinel (September 22, 1958)

And this is from Everett Herald (November 1, 1969)

I've also found a few brief newspaper notices about Jon Chevron that reveal some bits of information that might be useful:
This is from California Eagle (March 1, 1962)

And finally from The San Bernardino County (July 15, 1962)

I also want to expand the biography for Agustin Bescos a little since, with 300+ roles, he really deserves more than one line, but since it is your topic I wanted to check with you first.
