Perspective

Féodor Atkine was born in Paris to a Russian father from Harbin, capital of Manchuria, in northeast China, whose family had fled the pogroms in Poland and Ukraine to take refuge in the Far East the day before the Russo-Japanese War.^[3]

He has the distinction of participating in many productions where he speaks in French, English and/or Spanish; he has been involved in films by Woody Allen, Claude Zidi, Raoul Ruiz, Claude Lelouch, Pedro Almodóvar, Éric Rohmer, etc. He has participated in several plays as well as radio productions.

Atkine was a regular over several episodes on the 1990s British television series Sharpe, where he played the reccurring character Major Pierre Ducos; the series was based on the historical novels by the author Bernard Cornwell.

Atkine is also known for dubbing in American films or television series but also for characters in Disney productions. He is (among others) the regular French voice of William Hurt, Ben Kingsley, Hugo Weaving and Hugh Laurie (which he notably dubs in the French version of House) as well as one of the recurring voices of Jonathan Banks, Frank Langella and Jeremy Irons. Since 2012, he also doubles Tommy Lee Jones, following Claude Giraud's retirement and subsequent death.

Atkine was awarded the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2019.^[4]
