Among his many roles in animation are Alex Murphy / RoboCop in ''RoboCop: The Animated Series'', Rod Ross in ''Death Note'', Savage Opress in ''Star Wars: The Clone Wars'', Skipper in the ''Planes'' films, the Watcher in ''What If...?'' and Green Lantern in various animated films and series.

On [[July 28]], [[2024]], he announces that he will significantly slow down his career, annoyed by the current working conditions in the realm of dubbing.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Certaines déconvenues récentes m'ont fait prendre conscience des changements sociétaux profonds qui se sont opérés dans mon métier.|link=https://www.facebook.com/share/p/ndHnpecQmECxrFfd/|name=Michel Vigné|site=Facebook|year=2024|month=07|day=28}}</ref>

==Notes==
*In the French dub of ''Beast Wars'', Michel Vigné gave Starscream a very foppish accent, in addition to the very formal language he uses. That way of speaking is pretty distant from both the original version and the [[Jacques Ferrière|two]] [[Albert Augier|voices]] he had in the French dub of the original cartoon. However, that is strangely pleasant to hear.
:*Actually, he will soon after give that exact same voice to Inferno for the rest of the show, since he takes over the role just after the ''Possession'' episode.
*He briefly dubbed [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] for the cameo of ''[[War of the Dinobots]]'' in the 1994 film ''{{w|Léon: The Professional}}'', in which Mathilda tries to watch ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)|The Transformers]]'' on TV.
*In 2023, when reminded about his role of Dinobot in ''Beast Wars'', Michel Vigné said that he remembers the dubbing of the series as a great memory, working together with friends and having a lot of fun.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Animutants est un grand souvenir, que des amis, nous travaillions ensemble à cette époque.

Alain Dorval

2024-03-13T11:29:48Z

Renwickophile:

[[File:Alain Dorval.jpg|270px|thumb|And that, son, is a cool profile picture.]]
'''Alain Dorval''', born '''Alain Fernand Jean-Marie Bergé''' (b. Friday [[August 9]], [[1946]], to Algiers, in Algeria - Tuesday [[February 13]], [[2024]], to Villejuif) was a French actor and business executive.

After his studies in the Paris Conservatory of Dramatic Art, he starts a career in theater, before discovering fortuitously dubbing.

He has been very active in dubbing, being the iconic French voice of Sylvester Stallone since the first ''Rocky'' until ''Expandables 4'' in 2024, and one of the voices of Nick Nolte (alternating with [[Jacques Frantz]]).

In animation, in addition of being the regular voice of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6GFIHoQLI4&t=27 Peg-Leg Pete] since 1995, he voiced Le Gros and Le Teigneux in the French ''Once Upon a Time...'' educational series, Weaver in ''Antz'' and Tiger in the ''Fievel'' films, among other voice roles.

He is also present in voice-over for documentaries and has been the voice of French radio ''Skyrock'' between 1986 and 1997.

He first created a company specializing in the manufacture of speakers then, from the end of the 2000s, managed a company specializing in the creation of flight cases.

On February 13, 2024, Alain Dorval died from cancer at the age of 77.

==Voice roles==
===''Transformers'' (2007 movie)===
* [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]

===''Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen''===
* Ratchet

===''Transformers: Dark of the Moon''===
* Ratchet

===''Transformers: Age of Extinction''===
* Ratchet
* [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]]

==Notes==
* In addition to being his French voice, Alain Dorval was born on the exact same day as Sylvester Stallone.
* At the end of the 1980s, he raised bad criticisms of the dubbing conditions which tended to deteriorate. As a result, several studios put the actor on a black list, which led [[Michel Vigné]] and Richard Darbois dubbing Sylvester Stallone for a time, in particular in the films produced by Warner Bros. Alain Dorval fully came back as the voice of the American actor during the 2000s.
*For unknown reasons, it's [[Gilles Morvan]], the voice of [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], who plays a pair of Ratchet's lines in the European French dubs of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' and in ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]''. Notably, it's Ironhide who says "Bumblebee, get them out of here!" after [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s death in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' and also Ironhide who tells [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] that's "There's nothing to fear" after his resurrection in ''Dark of the Moon''. Alain Dorval is a pretty busy man, yknow!
* When reminded about [[Robert Foxworth]] he dubbed as Ratchet in ''Transformers'', he answered: "''Transformers'', the thing with the beasties, right? Ah yes, yes but since we can't see their faces..."<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrXeWHHBs9M&t=287 Interview with Alain Dorval, moment about Robert Foxworth in ''Transformers'' at 4:47]</ref>, probably to point out that it is a little bit different to dub from the usual human actors.

[[File:Michel Vigné.jpg|250px|thumb|He's watching you.]]
'''Michel Vigné''' (b. [[August 10]], [[1956]]) is a French actor specialized in dubbing.

He is the regular French voice of Mickey Rourke, Michael Wincott and [[Ron Perlman]], and one of the voices of Michael Madsen, Chow Yun-fat, Nick Nolte and Patrick Swayze. He also dubbed Sylvester Stallone in '''Lock Up''', John Travolta in ''Pulp Fiction'', Sauron in ''The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring'' and Unkar Plutt in ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]: Episode VII – The Force Awakens''.

Among his many roles in animation are Alex Murphy / RoboCop in ''RoboCop: The Animated Series'', Rod Ross in ''Death Note'', Savage Opress in ''Star Wars: The Clone Wars'', Skipper in the ''Planes'' films, the Watcher in ''What If...?'' and Green Lantern in various animated films and series.

Regarding video games, he dubbed the narrator in ''Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness'', Branden in ''Batman: Arkham Origins'', Crach an Craite in ''The Witcher 3'' and he reprised his role of Unkar Plutt for the ''Lego Star Wars'' games and his role of Green Lantern in the ''Injustice'' games.

==Voice roles==
===''Beast Wars: Transformers''===
*[[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]]
*[[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]] (except for his first appearance in ''[[Spider's Game]]'')
*[[Clone One]]
*[[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]
*[[Vok|Vok disguised as Unicron]]
===''Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen'' (video game)===
*[[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]]
===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (video game)===
*[[Brawl (WFC)|Brawl]]
*Additional voices
===''Transformers: Rise of the Beasts''===
*[[Optimus Primal (ROTB)|Optimus Primal]]

==Notes==
*In the French dub of ''Beast Wars'', Michel Vigné gave Starscream a very foppish accent, in addition to the very formal language he uses. That way of speaking is pretty distant from both the original version and the [[Jacques Ferrière|two]] [[Albert Augier|voices]] he had in the French dub of the original cartoon. However, that is strangely pleasant to hear.
:*Actually, he will soon after give that exact same voice to Inferno for the rest of the show, since he takes over the role just after the ''Possession'' episode.
*He briefly dubbed [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] for the cameo of ''[[War of the Dinobots]]'' in the 1994 film ''{{w|Léon: The Professional}}'', in which Mathilda tries to watch ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)|The Transformers]]'' on TV.
*In 2023, when reminded about his role of Dinobot in ''Beast Wars'', Michel Vigné said that he remembers the dubbing of the series as a great memory, working together with friends and having a lot of fun.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Animutants est un grand souvenir, que des amis, nous travaillions ensemble à cette époque.

Alain Dorval

2024-03-13T11:12:05Z

Renwickophile:

[[File:Alain Dorval.jpg|270px|thumb|And that, son, is a cool profile picture.]]
'''Alain Dorval''', born '''Alain Fernand Jean-Marie Bergé''' (b. [[July 6]], [[1946]] - [[February 13]], [[2024]]) was a French actor and business executive.

After his studies in the Paris Conservatory of Dramatic Art, he starts a career in theater, before discovering fortuitously dubbing.

He has been very active in dubbing, being the iconic French voice of Sylvester Stallone since the first ''Rocky'' until ''Expandables 4'' in 2024, and one of the voices of Nick Nolte (alternating with [[Jacques Frantz]]).

In animation, in addition of being the regular voice of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6GFIHoQLI4&t=27 Peg-Leg Pete] since 1995, he voiced Le Gros and Le Teigneux in the French ''Once Upon a Time...'' educational series, Weaver in ''Antz'' and Tiger in the ''Fievel'' films, among other voice roles.

He is also present in voice-over for documentaries and has been the voice of French radio ''Skyrock'' between 1986 and 1997.

He first created a company specializing in the manufacture of speakers then, from the end of the 2000s, managed a company specializing in the creation of flight cases.

On February 13, 2024, Alain Dorval died from cancer at the age of 77.

==Voice roles==
===''Transformers'' (2007 movie)===
* [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]

===''Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen''===
* Ratchet

===''Transformers: Dark of the Moon''===
* Ratchet

===''Transformers: Age of Extinction''===
* Ratchet
* [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]]

==Notes==
* In addition to being his French voice, Alain Dorval was born on the exact same day as Sylvester Stallone.
* At the end of the 1980s, he raised bad criticisms of the dubbing conditions which tended to deteriorate. As a result, several studios put the actor on a black list, which led [[Michel Vigné]] and Richard Darbois dubbing Sylvester Stallone for a time, in particular in the films produced by Warner Bros. Alain Dorval fully came back as the voice of the American actor during the 2000s.
*For unknown reasons, it's [[Gilles Morvan]], the voice of [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], who plays a pair of Ratchet's lines in the European French dubs of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' and in ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]''. Notably, it's Ironhide who says "Bumblebee, get them out of here!" after [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s death in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' and also Ironhide who tells [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] that's "There's nothing to fear" after his resurrection in ''Dark of the Moon''. Alain Dorval is a pretty busy man, yknow!
* When reminded about [[Robert Foxworth]] he dubbed as Ratchet in ''Transformers'', he answered: "''Transformers'', the thing with the beasties, right? Ah yes, yes but since we can't see their faces..."<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrXeWHHBs9M&t=287 Interview with Alain Dorval, moment about Robert Foxworth in ''Transformers'' at 4:47]</ref>, probably to point out that it is a little bit different to dub from the usual human actors.
