He also sung the track 'Hai capito' on What's New, Scooby-Doo (2003) From 2004 to 2012 Luciano has been the official voice of the TV channel E! Entertainment, Italy. Besides being the voice of the promos, Luciano worked for E! Entertainment also as live commentator for the Award shows and Red Carpets, like the Golden Globes, the Academy Awards, the BAFTA Awards and the Emmy Awards.
