Denis Savignat(1937-1998)

Denis Savignat studied drama at the Conservatoire de Paris. He was first and foremost a theater actor but was also very successful on TV, particularly as Armand Berg in the much seen series "Châteauvallon" alongside Chantal Nobel and Jean Davy. You can count his appearances on the big screen on the fingers of one hand. In compensation he can be heard very often in the French versions of foreign films or TV series as he was a very active dubber. He served as a voice substitute for such big names as Clint Eastwood, Burt Reynolds, James Coburn, Charles Bronson, Martin Landau in the series "Mission: Impossible", Guy Doleman (N°2 in "The Prisoner"), and many others. Denis Savignat died of cancer at the premature age of 51.
