Personal life

Born in Rome, Vidale is the son of actors Franco Latini and Piera Vidale and the half-brother of Latini's two daughters Laura and Ilaria Latini, who are also voice actresses. Active in theatre, film and television, he made his screen debut as a child in the 1979 film Io zombo, tu zombi, lei zomba. Vidale was awarded a Telegatto in 2003 for his portrayal of a younger Pope John XXIII in the television film The Good Pope: Pope John XXIII.

As a voice actor, Vidale is the primary Italian voice dubber of Jack Black and has also regularly or occasionally dubbed Marlon Wayans, Martin Lawrence, Eddie Murphy, Don Cheadle, Anthony Anderson, David Oyelowo, Nick Frost, Will Smith and Chris Rock in some of their films. He is known for voicing Bilbo Baggins (portrayed by Martin Lawrence) in the Italian version of The Hobbit film franchise as well as War Machine (portrayed by Terrence Howard and Don Cheadle) in the Italian dubbed versions of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films.

In Vidale's animated roles, he voiced Sandokan in an Italian animated series, as well as providing the Italian voice of Piglet in the Winnie the Pooh franchise from 1989 until 2003 when he was replaced by Luca Dal Fabbro, as well as Owen in Total Drama. Some of his film dubbing roles include King Candy in Wreck-It Ralph, Maui in Moana, Gunter in Sing, B.O.B in Monsters vs. Aliens and Bowser in The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

Since 2014, Vidale has been married to Tiziana Graziani (who is the daughter of voice actor Sergio Graziani) after 21 years of dating.[2] Together, they have two daughters, Chiara and Sara, who are also voice actresses.[3][non-primary source needed]
