Daniel Gall was a French actor, born on October 2, 1938, who built a distinguished career spanning stage, film, and voice-over work, becoming a renowned figure in French dubbing. He passed away on December 9, 2012. Gall's professional foundation was in theatre, where he performed in a wide range of classical and contemporary productions, including works by Molière, Paul Claudel, and Fernando Arrabal, demonstrating his versatility as a stage actor before becoming widely known for his voice.

He is most famously remembered by French audiences as the defining voice of Actarus, the protagonist in the cult animated series Goldorak, the French adaptation of the Japanese anime UFO Robo Grendizer. This role, along with his voice work in other animated series such as Candy (as Mr. Hathaway) and Jayce and the Conquering Light (as Herc), cemented his status as a beloved figure in French pop culture. Beyond animation, Gall's voice became a familiar presence in live-action dubbing, serving as the regular French voice for actors like Jerry Orbach and Bill Bixby. His extensive voice work also extended into the realm of video games, where he lent his talents to major international titles. He was the narrator in the first three Harry Potter video games and voiced characters such as Saren Arterius in Mass Effect and Rendon Howe in Dragon Age: Origins.

A significant and defining aspect of Gall's career was his role as a syndical representative for the Syndicat Français des Artistes Interprètes. For 25 years, he fought a dedicated battle for the recognition of intellectual property rights for voice-over artists in France. His efforts were instrumental in the signing and extension of the DAD.R convention in early 2005, a landmark achievement that secured rights for his fellow performers. This legacy, combined with his iconic voice roles, marks Daniel Gall as a pivotal figure in French dubbing, respected both for his artistic contributions and his commitment to the profession.
