Woody Allen has offered the Catalan actor Joan Pera will appear in his new comedy that will shoot in Barcelona this summer and thus appear on the screen, after more than two decades dubbing the New York actor and director into Spanish and Catalan. Allen was always grateful for the Catalan comedian's efficient intonation and cadence. «The last time he was in Barcelona he told me that he was very grateful to my work and? that thanks to me he was more of a hero than he really is«, Assured Pera.
Pera, who now stars in the Condal theater 'Òscar, one suitcase, two suitcases, three suitcases', held last Wednesday an audition for the comedy starring Penélope Cruz, Javier Bardem and the blonde Scarlett Johanson. The actor's participation in the film would only be a wink for the Spanish public and a deference for the voice actor, who would play a silent role. Since the death of Allen's first dubber, Miguel Ángel Valdivieso, Pera has played the actor and director in Spanish, as well as dubbing him in all the Catalan versions.
