Eckart Dux, speaker of Man-E-Faces, among others, in the first Masters of the Universe Europe Lecture Series, passed away on 09.04.2024 at the age of 97.

Eckart Dux was born on December 19, 1926, in Berlin and later became known to most people as an actor and, above all, a dubbing actor.

Dux voiced Anthony Perkins, Fred Astaire and Ian McKellen as Gandalf in the Hobbit trilogy.

Most Masters of the Universe fans will know him as the Man-E-Faces from the European radio plays. He voiced it in episodes 4 (The Indomitable Dragon), 6 (Skeletors Dungeon), 7 (Doppelganger) and 11 (Anti-Eternia). In episode 20 (The Serpent Lord's Revenge), he voiced the juggler.

He was also heard in "The Three ???", "TKKG", the "Asterix" and "Knight Rider" radio plays.

In 2006, he won the Audience Award for "Voice Acting Series" for his voice as Arthur (Jerry Stiller) in the series "King of Queens".

In 2008 he was awarded the "German Prize for Dubbing" for his outstanding oeuvre in dubbing.

Eckart Dux passed away on April 9, 2024, in Sassenburg. The PlanetEternia team sends its condolences to his family and friends.
