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.

in a while a bio on a specific voice actor as in Europe these actors are as well-known
as the actors they voiced.
