Biography

An actor with a career spanning over 65 years, he became well known to the audiences for his work in animation.[2] Because of his coarse, raspy voice, he was typically known for voicing elderly characters in cartoons, movies and other entertainment.[3] For example, he has been the voice of Grampa Simpson in The Simpsons from 1991 until his retirement in 2012. He has also been the first voice of Herbert from Family Guy and gave his voice for many years to Fred Flintstone.[4]

In Italian dubs of live action films, Milita dubbed actors such as Desmond Llewelyn, Ed Williams and Brian Doyle-Murray. He provided the voice of Amos Tupper (portrayed by Tom Bosley) in a few episodes of Murder, She Wrote and Old Man Peabody (portrayed by Will Hare) in Back to the Future.

Retirement and death

After Milita retired in 2012, he passed on the roles of Grampa Simpson and Herbert to Mino Caprio and Valerio Ruggeri respectively and he died on 22 August 2017 at the age of 94, of natural causes.[5]
