Biography

Born in Rome, he began his career at four years of age with the 1956 film Supreme Confession. He had an intensifying experience as a child actor throughout the 1950s and 1960s on cinema and television and also voiced Arthur in the Italian-Language dub of the 1963 animated Disney film The Sword in the Stone, which marked Giuliani's first dubbing contribution.{{cite web|url=https://www.mymovies.it/biografia/?a=137792 |title=Massimo Giuliani |author= |publisher=MYmovies |date= |accessdate= 26 May 2019}} In that same year he performed the role of Paolo in Irvin Kershner's war film Face in the Rain.{{cite web|url=https://www.allmovie.com/movie/face-in-the-rain-am149299/cast-crew|title=Face in the Rain (1964) - Irvin Keshner - Cast & Crew|website=allmovie.com}}

A passionate football fan and pratictioner, in the 1960s he was hired to play in the roman football youth squad, but had to leave after four months due to his obligations as a child actor.

Giuliani went on acting in films and television, also taking part in plays, variety shows, and hosting programs for the Italian television and radio industry.{{cite web|url=https://www.ilsussidiario.net/news/massimo-giuliani-e-rosaria-ralli-ballerini-ne-il-barone-e-il-servitore/2062052/|title=Massimo Giuliani e Rosaria Ralli/ Ballerini ne "Il barone e il servitore"|website=ilsussidiario.net|author=Emanuele Ambrosio|date=22 August 2020|language=it}}{{cite web|url=https://www.antoniogenna.net/doppiaggio/voci/vocimgiu.htm |title=Massimo Giuliani|website=Il mondo dei doppiatori, antoniogenna.net|language=it|accessdate=3 December 2024}} A later, popular acting role of his was that of Ciro, the newsagent, in the late '80s TV series I ragazzi della 3ª C.

As a voice actor, Giuliani became well known for providing the Italian voice of John Belushi in The Blues Brothers, as well as Bugs Bunny (from 1996 to 2007, when the role was passed on to Davide Garbolino), Fozzie Bear in The Muppets and Buck from the Ice Age film series.

In the early 2000s, Giuliani protested that he had been insulted and threatened by AS Roma supporters due to his impersonation of footballer Francesco Totti on the TV show Convenscion,{{cite web|url=https://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/2002/10/10/una-vita-tra-minacce-insulti-per-aver.html|title=Una vita tra minacce e insulti per aver toccato il mito Totti|date= 10 October 2002|website=La Repubblica|author=Andrea Sorrentino|access-date=26 May 2019}} where he had also imitated other public figures such as sportspeople and politicians.
