Gérard Xavier Marcel Depardieu was born on December 27, 1948 in Châteauroux, Indre (France).
Gérard Depardieu achieved his breakthrough as an actor with his role in the French comedy film 'Les Valseuses' (1974) directed by Bertrand Blier. During the 1980s, Gérard Depardieu became a star of French cinema. From the 1990s onwards, he also became an international star. Alongside Jean Reno, he is one of the few French actors who have successfully made a name for themselves internationally.
For his role in the French historical film 'Cyrano de Bergerac' (1990), Gérard Depardieu received his only Oscar nomination to date. Gérard Depardieu is also well known for portraying the menhir producer Obelix in a total of four Asterix film adaptations.
In the German dubbing versions of his films, Gérard Depardieu is dubbed by Berlin-based actor Manfred Lehmann. On occasion, Gérard Depardieu has also been dubbed by Thomas Danneberg and Torsten Münchow.
Bruce Willis, Gérard Depardieu, Kurt Russell - they all have one thing in common: voice actor Manfred Lehmann, who can undoubtedly be described as one of Germany's most renowned dubbing voices. Initially an actor in numerous German television and film productions, then a dubbing artist, and now - not least due to his voice's recognition - also a voice-over artist for commercials, corporate films and documentaries. Who doesn't remember the legendary advertising campaign for the DIY chain "Praktiker": "20% off everything - except pet food"? This fame has not diminished the impact and popularity of his distinctive and charismatic voice. It continues to impress in the highest degree!
