Jean-Christophe Clément
Jean-Christophe Clément, is a French actor and writer, former journalist and radio host.
After trying his hand as an impersonator, he decided that he wanted to be an actor. He then took acting lessons and performed in several theater plays and played in various TV series.
Alongside that, he started to attend various dubbing sessions, on the advice of one of his friends. There he met several voice directors. One day he decided to give it a try, starting by discrete voice roles. Nowadays he is the regular French voice of Adam Kaufman and one of the voices of Eddie Steeples.
He related that at his debuts, he passed voice tests two times under the voice direction of Emmanuel Jacomy, but was intimidated by the latter and failed to play wholeheartedly, uneasy. After a discussion with him, Jacomy kindly gave him a third chance and Clément managed to play thoroughly. Emmanuel Jacomy became one of the actors he admires the most then.<ref>Interview with Jean-Christophe Clément (end of page)</ref>
