Biography

Born in Rome and the second child of Arduino and Anna Sorrentino, Sorrentino began his career at the age of five acting at the "Grand Hotel di Roma", singing the song "O mese de Rose", composed by Roberto Murolo. After his performance, Lilly D'Eramo (Nanni Eramo's wife) asked Claudio's mother to take him and his sisters to a specialized school. At the age of six, he interpreted "Zi Dima" in Luigi Pirandello's opera Giara and "Medoro" in E. De Filippo's Sic Sic. He performed in several theatres in Rome.

Sorrentino later acted in the opera La vita con il padre e la madre with Paolo Stoppa, Lino Morelli and Corrado Pani. During that time, Sorrentino started his career as a voice actor, covering a role in the film L'ultima Carovana.[2]

As a dubbing artist, Sorrentino is the official Italian voice of John Travolta and Mel Gibson.[3] Other actors he dubs includes Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, Willem Dafoe, Ryan O'Neil, Ron Howard, Jeff Bridges, Mickey Rourke and many more. In his animated roles, he voiced Dodger in the Italian dub of Oliver & Company.
