Biography

Born in Guardiagrele, Dinelli grew up in Rome, where he attended the Silvio d'Amico National Academy of Dramatic Arts[1] and worked as a stage, radio, and television actor.[2] In 1975 he portrayed Fosco, a grave robber, in the TV series Ritratto di donna velata.[3]

Later, Dinelli's career transitioned into voice acting and dubbing.[2] He performed in animated productions such as How the Toys Saved Christmas, The Spaghetti Family, Winx Club, Monster Allergy and Rat-Man. Dinelli has voiced many characters in both Italian animation and Italian-dubbed localizations.

As a voice over artist, he is known for providing Mr. Bean's Italian voice, regularly dubbing Rowan Atkinson's roles.[1] Dinelli has expressed particular satisfaction with working to the Italian dub of Disney's animated series Darkwing Duck, where he voiced the title character.[2]

He has also dubbed the character Remigio, portrayed by Mauro Bucci, in the English post-syncronized version of Matteo Garrone's 2019 film Pinocchio.[4]
