Alexis Tomassian* (born July 13, 1979) is a French voice actor of Armenian descent.
He made his debuts in stage acting, playing Gavroche from Les Misérables in 1991. He made his voice acting debut around the same time as Junior Healy in Problem Child. With his naturally Child-Like Voice, he became very active in the animated cartoons department, having notably voiced Tommy Pickles in Rugrats, PJ in A Goofy Movie and Dewey Duck in Quack Pack and Ducktales, as well as Robin in a few DC animated adaptations.
Later in his career, he became more involved in dubbing live-action Hollywood films, and is the recurring French voice of actors such as Justin Timberlake, Rami Malek, Shia LaBeouf, Eminem and Tobey Maguire.
While he never made a proper career in singing, he performed the theme songs for a few TV shows such as, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, My Dad the Rock Star, and the Robin Hood anime by Koichi Mashimo.
He is also a friend of fellow voice actor Donald Reignoux, with whom he shares a similar voice and therefore, also shared roles. The two of them formed a motorcycle team named Roue2ouf.
His son, Sacha Tomassian, and niece, Bianca Tomassian, are also professional voice actors.

Tropes associated with this actor:
- Child-Like Voice: Has the ability to make his voice go quite high, which comes in handy when playing children.
- Creator Backlash: Although Philip J. Fry is one of his favorite roles, he refused to reprise his role in the Futurama movies because he thought the show was poorly translated.
- Man of a Thousand Voices: He has performed thousands of characters and as quite a vocal range between them, though he doesn't do baritones.
- The Protagonist: In animations, he is often cast as the lead character, examples include Tommy Pickles, Martin, Fry, Ash Fox, Light Yagami or Ben Tennyson.
- Recast as a Regular: He went from voicing the minor role of a younger Grandpa Max in Ben 10 to voicing the eponymous main character starting from Ben 10: Alien Force onward. Until the reboot where the original actress Sauvane Delanoë reprised the role.
- Star-Making Role: Philip Fry from Futurama and Light Yagami from Death Note are two of his most known roles.
- Those Two Actors: He and his friend Donald Reignoux have shared a few characters and actors, such as Ron Stoppable, and Norman Normal (the latter because Reignoux still refused to work for VSI Paris). They have also voiced friends/relatives/rivals in a few productions: Tai and Matt, Kevin and Ben, Dick Grayson and Tim Drake, Seth and Evan, Marvin and Martin, and Louie and Dewey in both Quack Pack and DuckTales (2017) for the latter character.
- He and Dorothée Pousséo have voiced friends/relatives in Martin Mystery, The Cuphead Show! and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
- Typecasting: In animation, if there is a teenage boy or young man as part of the main cast, he is likely to play them, whether it be idiot dork kind (such as Martin Mystery) or the darker type (such as Zuko or Light Yagami).
