Born in
Rome, Capone began an acting career on television at the age of 11. His first on screen appearance was in
Il giornalino di Gian Burrasca directed by
Lina Wertmüller. He also worked on stage alongside
Luigi Almirante,
Silvio Noto and
Roldano Lupi. He devoted himself exclusively to dubbing and narrating in the 1970s. Capone's most notable roles include the dubbing of
Ridge Forrester in the Italian version of
The Bold and the Beautiful, and
Stephen Collins as the Rev. Eric Camden in
7th Heaven. Previously, he was also the voice of
Luke Skywalker (portrayed by
Mark Hamill) in the
Star Wars original trilogy and as Carey Mahoney (portrayed by
Steve Guttenberg) in the
Police Academy franchise, the voice of
Stephen Fry, who played
Oscar Wilde in the film
Wilde,
Franz Joseph I of Austria in the
Sissi trilogy, and
Don Johnson in the programme
Miami Vice. As a popular film and television program narrator, he was the narrator of many
documentaries on the Italian national television network
RAI, but none more so than his narration of
Rai's scientific documentary
Superquark, presented by
Piero Angela and
Geo & Geo. His voice (and often his image) can be seen and heard in many national and local
advertising campaigns in
Italy.
