Dominique Paturel dubbed a hundred characters. He was the French voice of Larry Hagman in Dallas, but also of Michael Caine, Terence Hill, Robert Duvall, Frank Sinatra or Vittorio Gassman.
Actor Dominique Paturel, French voice of JR Ewing in Dallas, a hit 1980s series, died at the age of 90, his family said on Tuesday.
"My uncle died Monday evening at the hospital in Saint-Brieuc (Côtes-d'Armor). He had been suffering from diabetes for some time and had to be amputated. His general condition has deteriorated recently", indicated to the 'AFP his nephew Loïc Paturel.
The funeral will take place Friday at 2:30 p.m. in Pordic (Côtes-d'Armor), "the family cradle, where he will be buried", continued his nephew.
"He was one of the last to have played under the direction of Jean Vilar (famous director, founder of the Avignon festival)", adds Loïc Paturel. "He had nearly 80 plays to his credit and around thirty films. He was part of this generation that knew how to do everything."
Hundreds of dubbed characters
But his uncle was best known to the general public for the dubbing of JR, an unscrupulous character, who became a cult character, from the American series Dallas.
"I had a wonderful chance. Maybe, thanks to the dubbing, I had this choice to be able to accept or refuse theater or television projects that did not suit me", he had once said to the "Objective Cinema" website.
Dominique Paturel dubbed a hundred characters. He was the French voice of Michael Caine, Terence Hill, Robert Duvall, Frank Sinatra or Vittorio Gassman.
It can also be heard in the French versions of films such as The Laureate, Patton , Barry Lyndon , The President's Men , Elephant Man , Mad Max 2 , Millenium and a number of iconic American series ( Columbo , The Invaders , Agence all risks , Desperate Housewives ...).
