Biography

Roger Bancharel naît le 14 août 1927 dans le 11e arrondissement de Paris de Marie-Louise Bergheaud, femme au foyer et Joseph Bancharel, fonctionnaire de la CMP.

Voué à la prêtrise, il fait ses études à l'institution Saint-Nicolas. Il quitte par la suite le séminaire pour entrer dans une école d'ingénieurs, voie qu'il abandonne à son tour : il veut faire de la comédie. Une audition obtenue par sa tante auprès de Jean Marchat le lance sur la voie du théâtre. Tout en prenant des leçons au cours Bauer-Thérond auprès de Michel Piccoli, Anouk Aimée, Jacques Ciron, puis au cours Simon, il débute au théâtre à la fin des années 1940, avant de se lancer dans le cinéma, les dramatiques et feuilletons radio et le cabaret au cours des années 1950. Dans les années 1980, il participe régulièrement aux Grosses Têtes de Philippe Bouvard, sur RTL, où il se distingue notamment pour ses bruitages et ses improvisations aux côtés de Jacques Martin comme Le Putéal.

Il apparaît dans de nombreux films, pièces et séries télévisées à succès comme Arsène Lupin, où il incarne l'inspecteur Guerchard.

Son timbre particulier et sa capacité à transformer sa voix le poussent naturellement vers le doublage, notamment les productions Disney pour lesquelles il double Mickey Mouse dans les années 1970, Winnie l'ourson, Kaa dans Le Livre de la jungle, Pongo dans Les 101 Dalmatiens, Jiminy Cricket dans Pinocchio et le Chat du Cheshire dans Alice au pays des merveilles mais aussi les séries Hanna Barbera, Warner, etc.

Il prête parallèlement sa voix à des acteurs tels Charlie Chaplin, Jack Lemmon, Jerry Lewis, Peter Sellers ou Peter Ustinov et des personnages comme C-3PO dans Star Wars, Alf, Kermit la grenouille et d'autres.

Souhaitant ralentir son activité à partir des années 2010, il est remplacé dans certains de ses rôles emblématiques comme Winnie l'ourson ou C-3PO par Jean-Claude Donda. En octobre 2013, il annonce sur Europe 1 à l'occasion de la sortie d'Astérix : Le Domaine des dieux qu'il prenait définitivement sa retraite. Il est remplacé dans Astérix : Le Secret de la potion magique par Christian Clavier, qui a déjà tenu le rôle d'Astérix dans les films Astérix et Obélix contre César et Astérix et Obélix : Mission Cléopâtre.

Il a écrit un livre autobiographique : J'avoue que j'ai bien ri (1986). En janvier 2012, il reçoit le prix Henri-Langlois pour l'ensemble de son œuvre.
Il réside à Villemomble, en Seine-Saint-Denis, et a longtemps possédé une résidence secondaire à Villejésus, village du nord Charente.

Tom is chasing Jerry around using established plot and action devices until they arrive at the "Space Place". The staff there is testing dehydrated food. It is announced that Buzz Blister (voiced by Jess Harnell) and Biff Buzzard (voiced by Billy West) are going to Mars. In the process, Jerry and Tom are caught during the speech (first misunderstood as aliens due to Tom getting hit by green paint backstage), and they try to capture them, but only Tom is caught and thrown out. During the dehydrated food testing, Jerry knocks over a cup in the process, and all the food comes to life, and as a result, the food goes all over the place in an explosion. Soon the staff tries to catch Jerry, but figure only Tom can catch him, so they bring him back to the base and give him a mission to "eliminate" Jerry, and at the end of the chase, they are chased into a rocket ending up at Mars. They discover a giant black wall, similar to the black monolith in the Space Odyssey series. A green female alien named Peep (voiced by Kathryn Fiore) arrives with an alien dog, Ubu and two more Martians arrive. Jerry is mistaken for the “Great Gloop”. After much calamity and a discovery that Jerry is not the Gloop, Tom, Jerry and Peep (since she knows this was all a misunderstanding and trusted Jerry from the very beginning) steal a flying saucer, so they can get back to Earth and warn everyone about a potential attack by the Martians. They manage to stop them, but the “Invince-a-tron” eventually arrives on Earth and begins to suck everyone up with its vacuum. Tom, Jerry, and Peep stop Invince-a-tron, using a bone to get Spike into his brain and make it malfunction, much to Spike's nervous breakdown in the end. At the end they are thanked and awarded with a Hummer by Arnold Schwarzenegger (uncredited) as the U.S. president. Before they could even drive it, they are attacked by the Invince-a-tron again but this time controlled by Spike (mad for the destruction of his precious bone) who chases after them. Peep comes with the ship and rescues Jerry, but leaves Tom behind (for no apparent reason). Peep kisses Jerry with him being blushed as the iris closes in. At the ending scene, Biff and Buzz are seen cleaning the mess as punishment for lying that there is no life on Mars, soon they start to argue about it and fight as Tom is being chased by the Spike controlled Invince-a-tron in the background.
