Grigory Kofman is a Russian actor and voice artist based in Berlin, recognized for his extensive work in German dubbing for film and television. He was born in 1959 in Saint Petersburg, which was then known as Leningrad. Kofman is a graduate of the prestigious Schukin Theatre Academy in Moscow, a formative experience that laid the foundation for his career in the performing arts.

Following his graduation, he founded a theater in Leningrad, initially named the Malenkih Peterburgskij Theatr, which later became Paramon-Teatr. In 1994, Kofman relocated his primary artistic activities to Germany, though he has continued to make guest appearances across Russia and Europe. His work spans multiple facets of performance, including stage acting, with approximately sixty theater roles to his credit, and on-screen appearances in film and television productions such as the documentary series Kleine Hände im Großen Krieg. He is also active as a speaker for radio plays, commercials, and documentaries.

However, Kofman is most prolifically known for his voice work in German dubbing, or synchronization. With his native fluency in Russian and German, he is frequently cast to voice Russian or Eastern European characters in international films and series. His dubbing portfolio is extensive, encompassing several hundred productions. One of his notable roles in animation is providing the German voice for the character Koshkin in the 2014 anime film Giovanni's Island. This performance places him within the niche of anime voice acting for the German market.

Beyond Giovanni's Island, Kofman's dubbing credits include a wide array of major Hollywood blockbusters and television series. He has voiced characters in films such as Tenet, where he dubbed Andrew Howard as the driver, and The Dark Knight Rises, providing the German voice for Alon Aboutboul's character, Dr. Pavel. His work frequently involves lending his voice to actors like Lev Gorn, whom he has dubbed in series such as The Americans, Citadel, and Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan. Other frequent voice matches include dubbing for actors Gene Farber in films like The First Avenger: Civil War and the animated series What If...?, and Pasha D. Lychnikoff in productions like Stirb langsam - Ein guter Tag zum Sterben. This body of work demonstrates his specialization in bringing authenticity to Russian-speaking characters in German-language versions.
