Voices of the Spaghetti Western “The Long Day of the Massacre”

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 be 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.

Joaquin Gomez  (1951 -    )

Joaquín Gómez Bujalance was born on December 12, 1951, in Cordoba, Spain. Joaquin is a Spanish actor and dubbing director. Gomez loves poetry, Pio Baroja and Stefan Zweig. He knew that he was going to be an actor when, near his neighborhood, Can Vidalet, they read him a poster in which he put: Here the Navarra Cinema will be built. A movie theater in your neighborhood!!! He always thought a producer would come knocking on his door... (he’s still waiting). He was calling a Muniesa on TVE. He made a figuration and in 1975 a prota with Lluis Ma Guell. He knows how to ride a horse. In the meantime, he’s worked for decades as a voice actor and dubber.
