Henry Djanik
From MediaWiki
Henry Djanik, born Henry Djanikian (March 21, 1926 - August 18, 2008) voiced Megatron, Brawn and Omega Supreme in the French dub of the Generation 1 cartoon.
He performed several other roles in dubbed cartoons, movies and TV series, such as Leader-1 in GoBots, Panthro, Jackalman and Jaga in Thundercats, Steve McQueen in The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape, and was the official French voice actor for Mr. T and Anthony Quinn.
His voices for Mr. T and Megatron sound extremely close. French dub Megatron got a shade awesomer as a result.
