Biography
Roberto Villa (born Giulio Sabetta; December 2, 1915 – June 30, 2002) was an Italian actor and voice actor. Born in Casablanca, Villa completed his studies at the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rome and he eventually made his way up to acting. He made his film debut in the 1936 film The Great Appeal directed by Mario Camerini. Villa acted in two other films throughout the course of the late 1930s which includes Luciano Serra, Pilot directed by Goffredo Alessandrini and The Fornaretto of Venice directed by Duilio Coletti.
Villa‘s likeness on the big screen was once compared to that of international actors such as Robert Montgomery and Robert Young. By the 1940s, Villa intensified his acting career and worked frequently with directors like Luigi Zampa, Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia, Sergio Tofano and more. Villa worked on stage frequently during the 1950s and moved on to television in the 1960s. He also worked as a voice dubbing artist, dubbing foreign films for release in Italy, most notably Robert Shaw’s voice. Villa’s voice was dubbed in some of his films by Carlo Romano and Mario Pisu. He then retired from cinema and television altogether with his wife during the 1970s.
