Rainer Brandt (* 19th January 1936 in Berlin ) is a German actor , voice actor , dubbing director and dialogue author .

Life

Assuming it was a film studio, Rainer Brandt introduced himself to a dubbing studio in 1954. After the director Alfred Vohrer had him test speak, he got his first engagement as a voice actor. At the same time, he completed an acting training at the renowned Max Reinhardt School . In 1958 he began dubbing for DEFA . This was followed by larger synchronous roles in the West. Brandt voiced Elvis Presley in most of his films, later voicing Tony Curtis and Jean-Paul Belmondo . He was also for Mario Adorf in Winnetou , Jack Lord in James Bond - 007 is chasing Dr. No , Tony Randall in the series Männerwirtschaft and Robert Wagner in the series Your Appearance, to hear Al Mundy .

Brandt initially worked for Karlheinz Brunnemann at Deutsche Synchron and founded his own dubbing company in the mid-1970s, today's Brandtfilm . He was the author of the German dialogues of numerous films with Terence Hill and Bud Spencer , in which he also directed dialogues, and was also responsible for the dubbed versions of numerous films with Louis de Funès , Adriano Celentano and Pierre Richard .

Brandt had his breakthrough as a dialogue author in 1972 with the crime series Die 2 with Roger Moore and Tony Curtis , which he also dubbed in this production. The success of the series in Germany was largely based on the synchronization, which incorporated a number of jokes and puns that were not available in the original. In particular, linguistic jokes were put into the mouths of the main characters, some of which have found their way into everyday German. He himself described this synchronous style, which deviates from the original and in some cases deliberately bordered on meaning distortion, as " Schnodderdeutsch ". Curtis, who was married to a German, was very enthusiastic about the German version; he wanted Brandt to write the original scripts for Die 2 , but before that could happen there was a big argument between Moore and Curtis, so the series was discontinued. Before founding his own studio, he often worked with Karlheinz Brunnemann, including on Die 2 .

Brandt also wrote the dialogue books for the television series M * A * S * H , in which he could also be heard as a loudspeaker voice, and for numerous other series: A cage full of heroes , Whenever he took pills , Department S , Mini-Max , Smoking Colts , Alien Nation , tennis rackets and cannons and the US sitcoms All Under One Roof , Seinfeld and Frasier .

In the category Rainer Brandt's special camera in the current sports studio of the ZDF , Brandt put synchronic funny words in the mouths of prominent footballers and coaches in short clips from the late 1960s and well into the 1970s. This represented an equivalent to the football ballet conceived by ARD .

From January 2011 to October 2017 he played the Minister for State Security in the musical Hinterm Horizont in the Berlin Theater on Potsdamer Platz and in the Hamburg Operettenhaus.
