Martin Watier (born October 25, 1973) is a Canadian actor born in Montreal.[1] Specialized in dubbing, he is, among other things, the official French voice of actors including Colin Farrell, Jude Law, Jake Gyllenhaal, Josh Hartnett, Kevin Hart, Mark Wahlberg, Ben Foster and Paul Walker.[2]

Early life

Born in Montreal, Watier started studying music at the age of five. During his high school years, his passion for acting developed: in 1985 he began studies in drama with Quebec actors Normand d’Amour and Henri Chassé.

In 1990, his background in music (piano and voice) along with his talent as a young actor earned him a scholarship to Upper Canada College, in Toronto, where he spent the next two years studying acting and musical theatre.[3] In 1992, he was awarded the Robertson Davies Drama Award for outstanding onstage performance for his interpretation of Amadeus in Peter Shaffer's Amadeus.[4]

Career

Film and theater

He returned to Montreal in 1993 to launch his professional career. There he studied acting, singing and dancing with teachers such as Warren Robertson, Estelle Esse and Danielle Hotte. In a short time, Watier landed parts in plays and musicals (Jeanne, Bang Boy, Bang, Jerusalem), on English television (University, Sirens, The Hunger, Student Bodies) and French television (Watatatow, Zap, Catherine, 3 X rien, Annie et ses hommes),[5] and in movies (Hemingway : A Portrait, Laserhawk, The Deception Trilogy, Polytechnique),[6] and in numerous commercials.[7]

Dubbing

In 1995 he discovered voice work. Since then, he regularly worked in the field of dubbing, narration and animation.[8] Lending his voice to foreign actors, but also to fantastic characters and cartoons, he is able to give free rein to his creativity and overflowing imagination.[9] Over the years, he became the official French voice of many American actors including Colin Farrell, Josh Hartnett, Jude Law, Jake Gyllenhaal, Kevin Hart, Mark Wahlberg, James Franco, Ben Foster, James Marsden, Paul Walker and Ryan Philippe. He also dubs and creates original voices for cartoons and video games, and lends his voice to audio books and documentaries of all kinds.
