Alain Flick

Description
Alain Flick was a French actor and voice actor who worked extensively in dubbing from the mid-1960s through the 2010s. Born in Paris on January 26, 1949, he began his performance career in theater during the early 1960s before expanding into on-screen roles and voice-over work. His career also included work as a poet and stage director. He passed away on April 3, 2024, in Suresnes, France.

In the realm of anime and animation, Flick is recognized for providing the French voice for Son Goku in the series Dragon Ball Z. His tenure voicing the iconic character was specifically for episodes 165 through 167 of that series. Beyond this role, he was notably the first French voice actor to portray Michelangelo in the animated series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a role he held for over one hundred episodes, and also voiced the character Rocksteady in the same series. His other animated series work includes roles in The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin as Jack W. Tweeg, Nicky Larson as Edouard, and Comte Mordicus providing various voices. He also voiced characters in French dubs of programs such as Jayce and the Conquerors of Light and Heathcliff.

Flick's dubbing career, however, extended far beyond anime and cartoons into live-action television and film. He became a regular voice for several prominent American actors in their French dubs, including Danny DeVito, John Candy, Bill Paxton, and Preston Lacy. He was also a prolific voice in the Power Rangers franchise, dubbing the characters Farkus Bulkmeier, Lord Zedd, Elgar, and Professor Phenomenous across multiple series. Other significant live-action dubbing credits include voicing Craig Feldspar in Malcolm, Larry Kubiac in Parker Lewis Can't Lose, and Lord Varys in the acclaimed series Game of Thrones. Recurring collaborations with actors such as Abraham Benrubi, David Anthony Higgins, and Vincent Pastore were a hallmark of his career. In addition to his voice work, Flick appeared in numerous French film and television productions from the 1970s onward, including the feature film Le Nain Rouge, which screened at the Cannes Film Festival.
