Biography

Geoffrey Copleston, a renowned English actor, made a significant transition in the late 1950s by settling in Italy, where he became deeply entrenched in the country's English dubbing industry.

Throughout his illustrious career, his voice was featured in numerous films, with estimates suggesting that he lent his voice to hundreds of productions. In addition to his voice work, Copleston also continued to appear in physical roles, primarily in Italian productions or American films shot on Italian soil.

He is perhaps most notably remembered for his captivating portrayal of the chief villain in the 1989 sci-fi film "ROBOT JOX", as well as his eccentric and reclusive millionaire character in the 1987 film "EMMANUELLE AND THE LAST CANNIBALS".

Copleston's later notable roles included that of the innkeeper in Roger Corman's 1990 film "FRANKENSTEIN UNBOUND", and a character in Al Festa's 2002 music-oriented giallo film "FATAL FRAMES".
