Georges Atlas - Transformers Wiki

"Transformers? I tried to voice each character at least once!"

Georges Atlas (August 14, 1926 - February 26, 1996) was a French actor and voice actor. He was incredibly prolific during his career, particularly with voice acting and dubbing, where he worked on European originals (such as the Tintin and the Astérix franchises).

He was the regular French voice of Lee Van Cleef, Will Sampson and Ernest Borgnine, but also Boba Fett in The Star Wars Holiday Special and The Empire Strikes Back.

In animation, his roles included the French voices of Crag in Captain Future, the narrator in Dragon Ball and Ganon in the animated The Legend of Zelda series.

Notes

Georges Atlas is one of the only two actors to have been involved in both the French dub of the series and that of the 1986 film, along with François Leccia. He was given in The Movie the role of Grimlock, a character he previously dubbed only once in the "Desertion of the Dinobots" episodes, but it was probably a coincidence since it seems the dubbing team for The Movie was not aware of the work done on the dub of the series.
