Maurizio Merluzzo, actor, Youtuber, nerd: which video games has he voiced?

Biceps, blenders and successful youtubers, Maurizio Merluzzo is all this and much more. Even before Cotto & Frullato, the actor from Prato has always been fascinated by acting, a passion that he pursues to make it a profession in the 2.0 sense of the term between anime, video games and a YouTube channel that boasts more than 800,000 subscribers.

After training as a graphic designer, Merluzzo attended the cinema school in Prato and at the beginning of 2007 he moved to Milan to attend the Centro Teatro Attivo, where he studied acting and specialized in dubbing. Also in 2007, he got his first assignments as a voice actor and the following year he was hired for Sai's soil in Naruto Shippuden, and shortly thereafter he will give the voice to Ling Yao in Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and Travis Fimmel in Vikings, face of the protagonist Ragnar Lothbrock. Zachary Levi (The Fantastic Lady Maisel, Shazam) and David Castañeda (Diego Hargreeves / Number Two) in The Umbrella Academy, whose second season is finally coming to Netflix, are among the most recent voiceovers.

Ma back to us: which video games has he voiced? The characters are really many, and although many are secondary they are undoubtedly memorable: in Assassin's Creed III and Syndicate it was the voice of Daniel Cross and Jacob Frye; in Batman Arkham Origins he played the role of Anarky, in Borderlands 3 those of Troy Calypso, and in Mortal Kombat X he played Liu Kang, while in Sonic the Hedgehog and in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate he was none other than Knuckles.

Other roles that are worthy of note those in Call of Duty: Black Ops, and Endless Warfare (Terrence Brooks and Dimitri Petrenko, Griff); Diablo 3 (Demon Hunter); Rainbow Six Siege (Jäger); Uncharted 3 (Salim); Far Cry 4, and 5 (Reggie, Xander Flynn); Horizon Zero Dawn (Helis); League of Legends (Ezreal); Mass Effect 3 (Steve Cortez); Overwatch (Baptiste) and The Last of Us (James). We close our compilation with Dying Light (Harris Brecken); Sly Cooper Thieves in Time Tennessee Kid Cooper); Titanfall 2 (Jack Cooper); and the immense cult that is World of Warcraft , in which Cod has voiced Mortiferous and Rehgar Terrafuriosa.

If you want to take our journey among the microphones of the Italian and international, you will leave it in the player on top is the invaluable testimony of Cod, that tells us how to become a voice actor, while for all the latest news on the title of the moment, we refer to the stunning graphics of The Last of Us 2 , which may even exceed that of the next titles PS5 .
