They are performers in their own right.
They create interpretations.
They shape characters.
And sometimes, they become so successful that audiences can no longer imagine the character without them.
## Final Thoughts
Daniel Beretta's name may not be as universally recognized as Arnold Schwarzenegger's.
But for French-speaking audiences, his contribution to Schwarzenegger's legacy is impossible to overlook.
From **Double Détente** in 1988 through decades of action films, Beretta gave Schwarzenegger a French voice that became iconic in its own right. He also brought life to characters ranging from Lumière in **Beauty and the Beast** to Sam Fisher in **Splinter Cell**, while working across theater, radio, animation, cinema, and television.
He died in Ajaccio on March 23, 2024, at the age of 77.
But death cannot silence a voice that has been recorded into the memories of generations.
For many fans, hearing Beretta again is only a movie away.
A familiar line begins.
A familiar tone fills the room.
