Philippe Dumond (born February 18, 1949) is a French stage actor, scriptwriter, playwright and voice actor.
He is known for his deep and smoky voice, and for lending it to characters whose badassery perfectly matches it, most prominently in video games. Most recognizably, he's voiced 47 in the first three games of the Hitman series as well as King Varian Wrynn in World of Warcraft.
He seems to be the go-to guy when it comes to dub Italian-American gangsters. He has also dubbed a couple of film roles of Michael Ironside (The Perfect Storm, Deepwater, Surveillance, Terminator Salvation, The Bannen Way).
His son Cédric Dumond is also a voice actor.
