Biography
Born in Monza, Italy, Mazzotta began his career as a screen actor at an early age.[2] For technical reasons, sometimes he had to redub his own performances in post-syncronization; gaining experience in the studio, he became mainly active as a voice actor, dubbing cartoons and movies and voicing Italian animated characters.[2] Mazzotta is well known for providing the Italian-dubbed voice of Krusty the Clown in the animated sitcom The Simpsons, Pinky in Pinky and the Brain, the Clumsy Smurf in The Smurfs, and Eros in Little Pollon. He has served as a dialogue writer for the Italian dubbed versions of shows such as Saved by the Bell, Beverly Hills, 90210 and Party of Five.[3]
As a comic book writer, Mazzotta has assisted with the publications of comic strips featuring characters such as Lupo Alberto and Cattivik. He has even provided Italian dialogue for Mickey Mouse comic book stories.[4]
