Michael Tor was born in Chicago, Illinois on January 19,
1917. Tor was another of the classic voices with an "Anglo-Saxon"
accent in Italian dubbing, who specialized in giving a voice to English or
American characters - tourists, ambassadors, Yankee gangsters, etc. Michael was
above all one of the nicest Italian voices of Sylvester the Cat in the Warner
Bros cartoons (and one of the favorites of many fans of the cartoons, even if
few of them, unfortunately, knew that it was his voice...): Tor dubbed
Sylvester with a curious Anglo-Saxon accent (which was indeed his, and therefore
was not simulated!).
There a few records of his voice dubbing credits but we
do know he was the English speaking voice of Fernando Sancho in “Killer Kid”
(1967), “Turn I’ll Kill You” (1967), “Vengeance is Mine” (1967) and “And the
Crows Will Dig Your Grave” (1971)
Tor died in Milan, Lombardy, Italy on February 1, 2009.
