With Roberto Ciufoli at the 2015 Festa del Cinema in Rome |
When not appearing on camera or on stage, Ciufoli is the voice of many adored Italian characters. He's done voice-overs for several children's animation shows such as the Italian cartoon, "La gabbianella e il gatto" and the American films "Galline in fuga" (Chicken Run) and "L'era glaciale 4 - Continenti alla deriva" (Ice Age: Continental Drift) plus the Korean cartoon "Pucca."
In a 2013
interview for La Prima Pagina, he didn’t have a positive outlook on
contemporary Italian cinema, saying that he feels the themes and players are
usualy the same and don’t grow. For example, there is still too much focus of
themes of organized crime. He feels that Italian filmmakers should move on and write
about something else. That was 2 years ago. With the release of two huge films this
year that focus on organized crime- "Suburra" and "Non essere cattivo," I doubt his viewpoint has not changed. In 2015, Ciufoli's focus has been on theater with
some television appearances here and there including the popular RAI 2 variety
show, "Stasera tutto è possibile" and an interview spot for Nuovo IMAIE
during the Festa de Cinema in Rome. From what I could see of 2016, it looks
like Ciufoli will continue with his focus on theater. If you’re in Italy and
able to attend any of his performances, I’d highly recommend it. His television
work is hilarious and most likely, he carries that gift for comic timing over
to the stage. To find out about his upcoming stage productions, follow him on Twitter.
