Pierre Arditi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pierre Arditi (born 1 December 1944) is a popular, award-winning French film and stage actor.
He often played romantic, womanizing roles, similar to those played by Marcello Mastroianni.
In 1994, he received a César Award for Best Actor for his role in Smoking/No Smoking.
[edit] Trivia
- Pierre Arditi dubbed Christopher Reeve on the French-language version of the three first Superman movies by Richard Donner and Richard Lester (See http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Arditi). 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 (film).
