The best friend of Dr House, it’s him. Ryan Reynolds is him. The villain in titanic, Caledon Hockley, it’s him too. Pierre Tessier discreetly accompanied our best movie nights and our days spent in front of the TV. And for good reason, the 54-year-old actor has doubled with talent and for nearly three decades, characters from the small and big screen, mainly American.
The last character to whom he lent his voice is Super Mario, whose film has just been released in theaters. The adaptation of the famous video game has already broken the box office by making the biggest start of the year. The performance of Pierre Tessier in the role of the most famous plumber in the world was hailed by France and even in the United States where we regret that the English-speaking voice was not so well chosen.
This card, Pierre Tessier did not expect it: “We could not imagine such a tidal wave” he confided to 20 minutes during an interview in which he returned to the genesis of the profession of voice actor. It is “a French specialty” he recalled, and he details with passion the little recording secrets. An interview to watch in the video above.
