Re: Larry Dolgin
Son of Hitler (1978) credited, as Karl. Larry appears in a few scenes in this painfully unfunny comedy about Hitler's illigitimate son. It's a British-German co-production shot in Germany, and I assume Larry was cast while he was in Munich doing dubbing work for Atlas International Film.

La promessa (1979) (TV mini series) as Commissioner Feller. This two-part mini series mystery features Larry in a pretty meaty role as a tough police commissioner, but he's incredibly enough uncredited.

Inchon (1981) as Officer on the plane. Larry appears in one scene and gets to speak one line to the legendary Laurence Olivier in this American WW2 flop that was partially shot in Rome.

Re: Larry Dolgin
L'ultimo harem (1981) as Chuck, the TV anchor. Larry and his frequent dubbing partner Pat Starke appear in the pre-credits sequence of this lacklustre erotic drama, playing the hosts of a news programme who set up the film's plot by talking at length about the protagonist played by George Lazenby. They both dub themselves for the English-lanuage version.

Addio alle armi (1982), an 18-part Italian radio drama adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms", broadcast during April-May 1982. This cast list from Radiocorriere TV shows that Larry appeared in the seventh episode in the role of Simmons. It was not uncommon for the English-language dubbers to also do voice work for Italian versions if someone with an American or British accent were needed, and here we see that Larry's frequent dubbing partner Pat Starke has a part too.

Caligola - La storia mai raccontata (1982) credited, as Cornelius. This gory Caligula rip-off with hardcore scenes offers Larry a reasonably large role as a senator plotting to assassinate Caligula. He dubs his own voice for the English version, but not for the Italian one.

Ciao nemico (1982) credited, as Colonel Bascombe. Larry has one of his largest film roles and is perfectly cast as an army colonel in this WW2 comedy. I'm assuming he dubs himself for the English version, which I've not been able to find, but he's dubbed by someone else in the Italian dub.

Re: Larry Dolgin
La casa delle orchidee (1983) credited as Maurice Larry Dolgin, as Jeffrey. Larry appears in some scenes as the husband of one of the protagonists, but he's literally phoning his performance in as he's mostly seen talking on the phone on this Italian production directed by British sexploitation filmmaker Derek Ford. Notably, Larry is just one of several prolific English-language dubbers who appears in this film (the others being Gregory Snegoff, Robert Sommer and Ian Danby), and he very likely dubs himself in the English version, but I've only been able to get hold of a Spanish-dubbed TV print.

Re: Larry Dolgin
Colpi di luce (1985) as Stock car race commentator. Small but pretty cool role for Larry as an ill-fated race commentator who melts when the press box is struck by a deadly laser ray. This crazy Enzo G. Castellari action movie was shot entirely on location in San Francisco, California, but I'm guessing the melting special effects and the shots of Larry in the press box were shot in Rome as I can't imagine them flying him all the way to San Francisco for such a tiny part.

Re: Larry Dolgin
L'ombra nera del Vesuvio (1986) (TV mini series) credited, as Cunningham. Larry has one of his largest roles in this four-part mafia television mini series, playing an American cop who comes to Italy to assist in the investigation of an Italian cop played by Nunzio Gallo. Larry speaks all of his own dialogue in Italian here, speaking with a thick (probably deliberately so) American accent.
