Pascal Renwick is a Actor French born on 7 december 1954
Pascal Renwick est un acteur français, né le 7 décembre 1952 en France et mort le 19 juillet 2006 dans le même pays.
Actif dans le doublage, il a doublé à plusieurs reprises Laurence Fishburne, Ron Perlman, Fred Ward, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Charles S. Dutton, Danny Trejo, Joe Morton et sans oublier Delroy Lindo .
Il a également prêté sa voix à Nounours dans Bonne nuit les petits de 1994 à 1997, succédant ainsi à Jean Martinelli (mort en 1983) ou à l'animation avec le personnage Cesar dans La Belle et le Clochard, lors de la troisième version française.
En 1984, il écrit et met en scène sa propre pièce de théâtre Qui a tué Betty Grant. Face au succès de la pièce, celle-ci a été diffusée sur TF1. Remarqué par l'intermédiaire de ce succès, il obtient la même année son premier rôle au cinéma dans le film policier Liste noire d'Alain Bonnot puis dans le court métrage Mon inconnue de Philippe Harel (où il retrouve Dominique Pinon et Hervé-Axel Colombel, compagnons des années Cours Simon, ainsi que Daniel Mesguish et Eva Damien).
En 1994 et 1998, il joue dans Lumière noire et Watani, un monde sans mal, deux films réalisés par Med Hondo.
En 1996, il incarne Patou dans une série de téléfilms intitulée Les Mercredis de la vie où il joue dans Baloche, aux côtés de nombreux autres comédiens : Luc Florian (Gérard Peduzzi), Jeanne Goupil (Jeanne Peduzzi), Ronny Coutteure (Robert Van Bersen), Michel Fortin (Pierrot Peduzzi), Vincent Grass (Raoul), Michel Vigné (Olive), Yolande Moreau (Jacqueline Van Bersen)…
En parallèle, il reste très actif dans le doublage. Il prête notamment de manière récurrente sa voix grave si particulière à bon nombre d'acteurs comme Laurence Fishburne, qu'il a doublé à huit reprises (dont La Couleur pourpre en 1985, Double Détente en 1988 ou encore dans la trilogie Matrix de 1999 à 2003), Ron Perlman, qu'il a doublé à cinq reprises (dont La Belle et la Bête de 1987 à 1990, Police Academy : Mission à Moscou en 1994 ou La Seconde Guerre de Sécession en 1997), ainsi que Fred Ward (dans Saigon, l'enfer pour deux flics en 1988 ou la saga Tremors en 1990 / 1996), Delroy Lindo qu'il a doublé à quatre reprises (dont Get Shorty) ou encore Arnold Schwarzenegger qu'il a doublé à trois reprises (dont le T-800 dans Terminator, avec les fameuses phrases cultes en version française). Il double aussi de manière occasionnelle Alan Rickman dans Piège de cristal (1988) ou encore Al Pacino dans Dick Tracy (1990), et aussi Götz George dans la série Schimanski.
En 1994, après un casting exigeant, Pascal Renwick est choisi pour être la « nouvelle » voix de Nounours dans Bonne nuit les petits, qu'il incarnera de 1994 à 1997. Puis de 1995 à 2006, il prête aussi sa voix à des personnages de films d'animation comme Guile dans Street Fighter II, le film, Togusa dans Ghost in the Shell, César, le colonel canin dans La Belle et le Clochard (troisième version) ou encore Cétautomatix dans Astérix et les Vikings.
En 2003, lors de la sortie des suites de Matrix, interrogé sur le doublage des films, il déclare : « Matrix » a un scénario d'une intelligence extrême, il faut entrer dans le style. J'ai une texture très fatigante à travailler comme sur Nounours dans la nouvelle version de Bonne nuit les petits (1994). Sur Matrix Reloaded, il y a eu quatre semaines de doublage. Avec le directeur artistique Michel Derain, on a eu un vrai travail de composition avec des disputes gentilles. Parfois, je mettais trois heures sur une réplique… ».

Samson, Benny, Bridget, Larry, and Nigel were in a turtle curling championship while Ryan was with his friends. Ryan accidentally alerts the Thompson Gazelles which head to the game. Samson and Ryan have a falling-out about the fact that Ryan can't roar and Ryan storms off, even though his father was sorry for what he said. Benny insists that Samson tells the truth to Ryan or he will lose his son. When Samson goes to talk to him, he is not home. Ryan has actually walked into a green box and accidentally gets shipped, which the legend tells will take him to the wild. With the help of a pigeon, Hamir, Samson and Benny go after him, sneaking into a garbage disposal truck with Nigel, Bridget, and Larry coming as well, accidentally throwing Benny off the truck. After passing through Times Square and nearly being crushed in the garbage disposal, the group encounters a pack of rabid stray dogs. Samson leads them through the sewer rather than scaring them off.

Every year, as the warm season approaches, a certain tree in Great Valley blooms with pink flowers. Because of the tastiness of these "treesweets", every dinosaur in the valley wants his/her fair share of it. However, because of this tastiness (and the fact that there seems to be only one such tree in the whole valley), there is hardly enough for everyone. Because of this, none may eat any of the treesweets until the day they "reach the peak of their tastiness".

After the decline in Atlantean culture following the sinking, Kida (Cree Summer), now Queen, and married to Milo Thatch (James Arnold Taylor), is using the heart of Atlantis to restore her city's former glory. Suddenly, Milo's comrades and Mr. Whitmore (John Mahoney) arrive in Atlantis; while their arrival is unexpected, the Atlanteans welcome their old friends. Unfortunately, they have come to inform them of mysterious creature causing trouble on the surface. They arrive in Norway and discover that the mysterious problem is actually the creature known as the Kraken, which had been attacking shipping freighters and taking their cargo to a cliffside village. At first they presume it to be an ancient Atlantean war machine gone rogue (like the Leviathan from the previous film), but they discover that the town magistrate, Edgar Volgud (Clancy Brown), seems to be controlling the Kraken. They soon learn, though, that the Kraken itself is the master, having made a deal with Volgud. When they blow up the Kraken, the man disintegrates and restores the spirit of the village.

The story begins with Turaga Vakama retelling the original BIONICLE legend; long ago, the Great Spirit Mata Nui descended from the heavens to an island paradise, bringing with him the islanders known as the Matoran. They were initially without purpose, so the Great Spirit united them with three virtues: unity, duty and destiny. In gratitude of these gifts, the Matoran named their island in his honor. Yet their happiness didn't last, as Mata Nui's envious brother, Makuta, betrayed him by casting a spell over the Great Spirit, sending him into an endless sleep. With his brother struck down, Makuta had free rein to spread his evil across the island.

The film follows the adventures of three children: a skateboarding mischief-maker named Fly, his sweet younger sister, Stella, and their cousin Chuck, a cautious, intelligent and overweight genetics prodigy. When their babysitter, Aunt Anna, falls asleep, the three children sneak off to go fishing only to stumble across the boathouse home of Professor MacKrill, an eccentric marine biologist. Reasoning that climate change could melt the polar icecaps within the next century, MacKrill has developed a potion that turns people into fish so they can survive the rising sea level and also an antidote to reverse the process. Unbeknownst to all, Stella drinks the potion, is transformed into a starfish and gets tossed out of the window into the sea. Since Stella's transformation was caught on camera, the tragedy is immediately discovered, so Fly, Chuck and Professor MacKrill head out onto the ocean in a desperate search. When a storm blows in, Fly recognizes the futility of their search, drinks the potion and jumps overboard, becoming a "Californian Flyfish". The boat capsizes and, because Chuck cannot swim, he's forced to drink the potion to survive, becoming a jellyfish. The Professor, the boat and all of its contents sinks beneath the waves.

Rob McGoarthy, the owner of the appliances and whom they refer to as "the master", is working in a veterinary clinic where he tends to injured animals. One night, while working on a thesis, his computer accidentally crashes caused by a terrible computer virus from an old TLW-728 supercomputer named Wittgenstein. The appliances, along with the rat Ratso who found Wittgenstein, then seek to help Rob by finding Wittgenstein to reverse the effects of his computer virus, hence recovering the master's thesis. Meanwhile, in a dual plot of the film, Mack, Rob's lab assistant, plots to sell the injured animals Rob had been tending, to a place called "Tartaras Laboratories", the same place that Sebastian, an old monkey Rob is tending to, was sent to when he was just a baby. When the appliances find Wittgenstein, they discover him abandoned, all alone and run-down and broken in the basement due to be infected by a computer virus. The miserable supercomputer reveals that he is living on one rare tube, named the "WFC 11-12-55". The appliances learn that unless they find a replacement quickly, Wittgenstein's tube will blow and lead to his apparent death.
