ReplyDeleteThe Spaghetti westerns used German, Italian, Spanish, British, Yugoslavian and American actors among others. Most of the actors only spoke their own language and so these films were shot as silent films and dubbed into English, Spanish, Italian languages later. Many of the actors either charged extra to dub their films or were too busy making other films to stop and dub their voices. A whole branch of the Italian and Spanish film industry was dedicated to dubbing these films. Terence Hill and Bud Spencer until recent years never dubbed their own voices. They were done by Italian voice actors. Most of the time the same voice actor was used for a particular actor so the voice matched the screen actor in their films.
