Actor, certainly, but also singer and musician, Thierry Mercier began his dubbing career at the end of the 1980s with small tertiary roles, as tradition dictates, before establishing himself as a prolific actor. Except Stargate And Dragon Ball GThe also ensured the French dubbing of Vin Diesel in Riddickplayed Ash Williams in the series Ash vs. evil Dead or embodied Tobias Beecher in ozto name only the best known.
However, it is in video games that Thierry Mercier has multiplied roles, ranging from the additional voice in Dishonored 2 to Dominic “Dom” Santiago in Gears of War. His deep and expressive voice lent itself particularly well to this virile character, certainly, but also nuanced and tragic. Jumbled up, we can also cite the Heavy in Team Fortress 2, Gangplank and Aurelion Sol in League of Legends, Torn in the Jak & Daxter series or even Javik in Mass Effect 3. His very last role in video games was the sneaky Dexter DeShaun in the Cyberpunk 2077 prologue.
You can find an exhaustive list of his roles on the French dubbing wiki. You can also watch his dedicated episode in the show He was a voicefreely available on Dailymotion, where he looks back on several of his roles.
If he was relatively discreet in front of the public, Thierry Mercier was an actor very appreciated by his peers. Donald Reignoux paid tribute to him in the columns of Tele-Leisure : “Thierry doubled my dad in Stargate-SG1, he was always benevolent with me as with everyone else. Hidden under his big deep voice, he was a real nice guy… We will miss him.“
