Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door Remake Fandub: CHAPTER 3
Clover King (Jack Loney) for Don Pianta
Don Pianta (also known as the 'Don of Untimely Death') is the head of the Pianta Syndicate that rules over the west side of Rogueport. He's a powerful mob boss known for his ruthlessness. However, he has a soft side for his daughter, Francesca.
Don Pianta should have your typical Italian American mobster accent. He should sound calm, but menacing and tough. A bit of a gravelly voice would probably be fitting. The instinct is probably going to be to go for a Godfather type of voice, but I'd prefer something a little more gruff and deep.
Voice Reference:
Robert De Niro as Don Lino (Shark Tale)

This role will have a bit of focus at the beginning of Chapter 3, and then again at the start of Chapter 6.
