Early life
editSogliuzzo was born in New York City on August 10, 1966.[1][2]
Career
editFrom 2004 to 2015, Sogliuzzo served as the main replacement voice actor for Puss in Boots in the Shrek franchise whenever Antonio Banderas was unavailable, voicing the character in video games, commericals, and DreamworksTV content, as well as replacing Vincent Cassel and John Lithgow as Monsieur Hood and Lord Farquaad respectively in the Shrek 2 tie-in video game and Shrek Smash n' Crash Racing.[3] Starting with the 2015-2018 Netflix series The Adventures of Puss in Boots, Eric Bauza took over as the main replacement artist for the character from Sogliuzzo, who did voice a few characters in the show's first season.[3] Piotr Michael later replaced him as Farquaad in the 2023 video game DreamWorks All Star Kart Racing.
In 2003, Sogliuzzo was hired by Robert Zemeckis to voice act in his motion capture animated film The Polar Express. Sogliuzzo replaced Michael Jeter as Smokey and Steamer, the only characters in the film to be animated traditionally and not via motion capture, following the latter's death on March 20 of that year due to a epileptic seizure before he could record all of his dialogue. For the part, Sogliuzzo recorded all of the remaining dialogue to save the film as well as redub almost all of Jeter's recorded audio for consistency. Sogliuzzo also voiced the characters wholesale in the film's tie-in video game later that year.[3][4]
In 2006, Sogliuzzo voiced Tony Montana in the video game Scarface: The World Is Yours, a sequel to the 1983 film Scarface after being handpicked by Al Pacino, Tony's actor in the 1983 film, after declining to reprise his role outside of providing his likeness due feeling his voice changed too much in the 23 years between the film and the game. Sogliuzzo would later reprise the role as Montana in a DLC package for the 2013 video game Payback 2.
Sogliuzzo has also voiced various characters for Activision, such as Sparx in the Spyro series starting in 2000, Camo and Voodood for the Skylanders series between 2011 and 2016, and Big Norm, Velo, and Zem Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled in 2019.[3]
