Jiří Štěpnička, the Czech Voice of Harrison Ford, Dies at 79. In March He Said the Role Had Been Stolen From Him
Jiří Štěpnička, the actor whose voice Czech audiences heard whenever Harrison Ford, Michael Douglas or Mel Gibson opened their mouths, died on Sunday morning, 11 October, in a healthcare facility in Prague. He was 79. The National Theatre, where he'd been a member of the drama company since 1975, announced his death on its website and to the Czech news agency ČTK. The president of the Czech actors' association called him "one of the greatest icons of dubbing there has ever been."
No cause of death was given. The theatre's spokesman, Tomáš Staněk, told ČTK only that he died in a medical facility.
"With deep sorrow we announce that the actor Jiří Štěpnička, a long-standing member of the drama company of the National Theatre, died today," the theatre wrote. "He performed on our stages from 1975 and in almost five decades created dozens of distinctive roles."
