Biography


Lopez was born to parents from Naples who were temporarily working in Ascoli Piceno.[3] He started his acting career in 1975 and founded Il Trio in 1982 with Tullio Solenghi and Anna Marchesini: the Trio debuts on Rai Radio 2 with the Hellzapoppin radio show.[4]

Following the great success of Hellzapoppin, the Trio participated in various television programs like Domenica in and the 1986 edition of Fantastico and took part to the Sanremo Music Festival editions of 1986, 1987 and 1989.[5]

In 1990, the Trio reaches the peak of success with the parody of Alessandro Manzoni's The Betrothed, which was broadcast on Rai 1 in 5 episodes.[6] Together with Solenghi and Marchesini, Lopez brought on stage two theatrical shows: Allacciare le cinture di sicurezza (Fasten your seat belts) in 1987 and In principio era il trio (In the Beginning, there was the Trio) in 1990.

The Trio dissolved in 1994, due to the will of all three actors to work as soloists,[7] but reunited for one last time in 2008 to celebrate its 25th anniversary with the TV-program Non esiste più la mezza stagione.[4]

In 2005, Lopez hosted together with Solenghi Striscia la notizia.[8]

As a voice actor, Lopez is known for dubbing voices. He has been providing the current Italian voice of Homer Simpson in The Simpsons since the death of Tonino Accolla in 2013.[9] He has also dubbed some famous actors, including Stephen Fry in The Hobbit film franchise as well as Mike Myers in the second installment of the Austin Powers movies and Robin Williams in the live action adaption of Popeye. In his animated roles, Lopez has performed the Italian voice of Chilly McStuffins since the second season of Doc McStuffins as well as Grand Pabbie in Frozen, Ramon in Happy Feet, Mr. Peabody in Mr. Peabody & Sherman and Lionheart in Zootopia.

On 27 March 2017 Lopez suffered a heart attack while he was performing on stage; he quickly underwent an angioplasty and was transferred to a cardiological rehabilitation center, where he recovered completely and came back on stage two months later.[10]


Personal life


Lopez is the younger brother of the late voice actor Giorgio Lopez, who was the official Italian dubbing artist for Danny DeVito. He is also the uncle of voice actors Gabriele and Andrea Lopez.
