Patrick Poivey, French voice of Bruce Willis, dies at 72

Voiceover actor worked on all the Die Hard films and dubbed Tom Cruise and Spike Lee too

He may have had a long and illustrious career in films, TV and radio, but it is fair to say Patrick Poivey, who has died in France at the age of 72, was not a familiar face to most people either in his home country or abroad.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Poivey became Bruce Willis, and occasionally Tom Cruise, Kyle MacLachlan, Charlie Sheen and Spike Lee, not to mention the scruffy mutt in the French version of Disney's Lady and the Tramp.
