As we know most of the Euro-westerns were co-productions
from Italy, Spain, Germany
and France
which incorporated British and American actors to gain a worldwide audience. The
films were shot silent and then dubbed into the various languages where they
were sold for distribution. That means Italian, Spanish, German, French and
English voice actors were hired to dub the films. Even actors from the
countries where the film was to be shown were often dubbed by voice actors for
various reasons such as the actors were already busy making another film, they
wanted to paid additional salaries for dubbing their voices, the actor’s voice
didn’t fit the character they were playing, accidents to the actors and in some
cases even death before the film could be dubbed.
I’ll list a Euro-western and the (I) Italian, (S) Spanish,
(G) German and (F) French, (E) English voices that I can find and once in a
while a bio on a specific voice actor as in Europe
these actors are as well-known as the actors they voiced.

Claus Jurichs was born in Berlin, Germany

medicine and an internship as a dentist before going to the Max Reinhardt drama

From 1959 Jurichs received larger roles in DFF productions

Savage Fury), James Caan (El
Dorado), Robert De Niro (The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight),
