Biography

Parcours
Jacques Thébault a fait quelques apparitions dans des films français, dont Le Triporteur avec Darry Cowl et à la télévision dans Les Cinq Dernières Minutes.

Cependant, c'est en prêtant sa voix à des grands noms du cinéma et de la télévision comme Steve McQueen, Roy Scheider, Patrick McGoohan, Robert Conrad, Clint Eastwood, Humphrey Bogart (Casablanca), Paul Newman dans de nombreux westerns, Audie Murphy, Christopher Lee (L'Homme au pistolet d'or) qu'il s'est fait connaître. Pour la télévision, il a aussi fait le doublage de Bill Cosby dans le Cosby Show.

Sa voix grave et pleine de caractère lui permet aussi bien de doubler des personnages héroïques, cruels ou sadiques, mais également de faire des voix d'androïde, comme "Ash" du film Alien ou encore le personnage, inspiré de la bande dessinée, Lucky Luke, dans les séries d'animation de 1984 et 1991, du même nom.

En 1990, il explique dans les bonus du DVD de la série télévisée britannique Le Prisonnier, où il a assuré la voix de Patrick McGoohan, qu'il a proposé une traduction du célèbre « Be seeing you » (possible de traduire par « À bientôt ! ») par « Bonjour chez vous » pour la version française qui a été accepté.

Dans les années 2000, Jacques Thébault prend sa retraite et se repose dans sa propriété normande.

En 2001, il a été pressenti pour être la voix du récitant dans le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain. Sa voix ayant été jugée vieillissante (révélé par Jean-Pierre Jeunet dans les bonus du DVD), il est écarté du projet et c'est André Dussollier qui est choisi pour assurer la voix off.

Dans les années 1960, Jacques Thébault s'est aussi essayé à la chanson.


Décès
Il meurt le 15 juillet 2015 d'une embolie pulmonaire, à Saint-Arnoult dans le Calvados, en Normandie, à l'âge de 90 ans, 1 mois après Guy Piérauld (voix de Bugs Bunny).

Amélie Poulain was raised by eccentric parents who — erroneously believing that she had a heart defect — prevented her from meeting other children. She was home schooled by her mother. She developed an active imagination and fantasy life to cope with her loneliness. After her mother is killed in a freak accident, her father's withdrawal from society worsens. Amélie eventually decides to leave home and becomes a waitress at Café des 2 Moulins in Montmartre, which is staffed and frequented by a collection of eccentrics. Spurning romantic relationships after a few disappointing efforts, she finds contentment in simple pleasures and letting her imagination roam free.

The movie opens on what appears to be another average day in Hoagie's Alley (which, for the purposes of this story, has apparently been relocated closer to Beverly Hills) for Top Cat and his gang, who are today posing as Boy Scouts, out doing good deeds in the hopes of getting rewards. During the course of this, Benny the Ball saves the life of a bag lady. Unbeknownst to Benny, it is revealed afterwards that she is actually a rich woman named Gertrude Vandergelt, who plans to leave her fortune to her missing niece, Amy. Meanwhile, Officer Dibble arrives to put an end to T.C.'s shenanigans after an unsuccessful attempt by Brain to wash his police car's windshield. Just when Dibble is about to arrest the gang, though, he gets a call saying that his application for retirement has been approved, so he can now retire from the police force, and thus he drops the charges against T.C. and the gang.

Doublage un film chinois de Hong Kong appelé, en anglais, Crush et, en chinois, Tangshou taiquan dao (唐手跆拳道), originellement sorti en 1972, basé sur l'invasion japonaise de la Corée, dans lequel des pratiquants de taekwondo coréens luttent leurs oppresseurs japonais. Le présent film se rattache au mouvement situationniste initié entre autres par Guy Debord. Son scénario détourné traite des prolétaires tentant de venir à bout de bureaucrates violents et corrompus grâce à la dialectique et à la subjectivité radicale. La violence est enfin choisie du fait de l'incapacité des ces derniers à suivre un argument logique. Le dialogue est riche d'allusions anticapitalistes (Marx, Bakounine, Wilhelm Reich) et évoque des thèmes contemporains : conflits syndicaux, égalité des sexes, mai 68, gauche française et les situationnistes eux-mêmes.

In Mid-17th century France: young Louis XIV is struggling for his throne, beggars and thieves haunt Paris and brigands roam the countryside. Fifth child of an impoverished country nobleman, Angélique de Sancé de Monteloup grows up in the Poitou marshlands. Her logical destiny would be to marry a poor country nobleman, have children and spend her life fighting for a meagre subsistence. Destiny has other plans in store for her. At 17, on returning from her education in a convent, she finds herself betrothed to the rich count Jeoffrey de Peyrac (Jeoffrey Comte de Peyrac de Morens, Lord of Toulouse), 12 years her senior, lame, scarred and reputed to be a wizard. For the sake of her family, Angélique reluctantly agrees to the match but refuses the advances of her husband. Peyrac respects her decision and does not pursue his claim to conjugal rights, wishing rather to seduce than use force.

Professor Ned Brainard's discovery of Flubber has not quite brought him or his college the riches he thought. The Pentagon has declared his discovery to be top secret and the IRS has slapped him with a huge tax bill, even if he has yet to receive a cent. He thinks he may have found the solution in the form of "Flubbergas," (the "son" of Flubber) which can change the weather. His wife Betsy becomes fed up with all the stress and starts separating from him, and the professor's old rival Shelby starts trying to woo her again. Brainard's experiments continue, by making it rain inside people's houses, as well as in Shelby's car too while he's driving, which causes him to get into an accident with a police car. It also helps Medfield College's football team to win a game, but it also has one unfortunate side effect: It shatters glass, which eventually places Brainard on the lam. At home, his wife Betsy is jealous of the attention lavished on him by an old high school girlfriend. On trial, Ned's future seems hopeless, until a farmer shows the court that his crops grew extra large because of Ned's experiment, which the farmer names "Dry Rain", and the professor is acquitted, and he and Betsy are reunited.
