He could deliver comedy.
He could play villains.
He could also perform animation and video-game characters.
His career was never limited to one vocal type.
## Lumière and a Completely Different Side of Beretta
One of the most charming contrasts in Beretta's career was his work as **Lumière** in Disney's **Beauty and the Beast**.
The character is very different from Schwarzenegger's action heroes.
Lumière is theatrical, playful, charming, energetic, and musical.
Beretta's performance demonstrated just how wide his range really was.
The same performer who gave French audiences the commanding voice associated with Schwarzenegger could also bring warmth and personality to an animated candlestick.
He also participated in other animated productions, including **The Nightmare Before Christmas**, and worked on projects connected to **Ghost in the Shell**.
For many viewers, they may have heard Beretta's voice dozens of times without realizing the same actor was behind such different characters.
