# Roberto Chevalier

Roberto Chevalier Di Miceli (born 14 May 1952) is an Italian actor and voice actor who is best known for providing the Italian voice of Tom Cruise in most of his movies.

## Biography

Born in Rome, Chevalier entered his profession as a child actor in the late 1950s and he made his debut acting appearance in the 1958 film Young Husbands. He also reached stardom with his appearances in the 1961 film The Vengeance of Ursus and the 1963 film I terribili 7. Additionally, he portrayed a young David Copperfield in the 1965 television miniseries of the same name. Chevalier also spent five years in Teatro Ghione collaborating with Giorgio Strehler. However, he left due to his father’s death and his mother’s diagnosis with cancer. He continued acting as an adult as he began accepting minor or recurring roles on television by the beginning of the 21st century.
Chevalier is best known as a voice actor. He is best known as the official Italian voice of Tom Cruise and has dubbed him in most of his work since the 1986 film Top Gun. He is also a regular dub actor of Tom Hanks, Andy García, Dennis Quaid, John Travolta and Kurt Russell. Additionally, he has also dubbed Tony Goldwyn, Michael Keaton, James Woods, David Bowie, Christopher Reeve, Jeff Daniels, Michael Biehn as well as dubbing Owen Wilson in his earlier movies.
Some of Chevalier’s character dubbing roles include Cruise's role of Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible franchise (excluding the third film as Cruise is dubbed by Riccardo Rossi), as well as Truman Capote (portrayed by Philip Seymour Hoffman) in the 2006 film Capote, Ian Malcolm (portrayed by Jeff Goldblum) in the 1993 film Jurassic Park and Hal (portrayed by Bryan Cranston) in the sitcom Malcolm in the Middle. In Chevalier’s animated roles, he voiced Lucky in the Italian version of One Hundred and One Dalmatians early in his dubbing career, as well as Vicious in the anime series Cowboy Bebop.
