- Pierre Arditi
Pierre Arditi (born 1 December 1944) is an award-winning French film and stage
actor .He has often played romantic, womanizing roles, similar to those played by
Marcello Mastroianni .In 1987 he won a
César Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his role in "Mélo ", and in 1994, aCésar Award for Best Actor for his role in "Smoking/No Smoking ".Although his work has primarily been in French film and theater, Arditi is known in the
Anglophone world as the French voice ofChristopher Reeve . Arditi dubbed Christopher Reeve on the French-language version of the three firstSuperman movies byRichard Donner andRichard Lester (See the French Wikipedia article on Pierre Arditi for more information). Because of the added footage in the DVD Special Edition of Donner's "Superman", the movie had to be re-dubbed with a different voice actor, much to the chagrin of the generation of moviegoers who had grown up with the original soundtrack and identified Superman's voice with Arditi's. He also provided the French voice for Reeve in the comedy/whodunit "Deathtrap". Finally, he was the voice of the documentary serie "Untamed Africa," written and produced byFrederic Lepage .External links
