  • He was also the French voice for Magnum, P.I., Han Solo in the Star Wars trilogy, and that hippie in Scooby-Doo. Bumblebee kinda sounded like him, actually. Weird. Instead of "Autobots, transform and roll out," he simply said, "Autobot, Transformation." Laaame.
  • Lax had a long career in film and TV, from the 1950s until the 2000s, but most of it was spent as a dubbing actor. He was the French voice of Harrison Ford in the Star Wars and Indiana Jones films, and the primary voice of Tom Selleck (including Magnum P.I., Friends, and guest spots). Other actors dubbed by Lax include Michael Caine in The Man Who Would Be King and other films, Gene Hackman in the first two Christopher Reeve Superman movies, Jimmy Dean in Diamonds Are Forever, and Peter Lorre in the 1970s re-dub of Casablanca. For TV, he re-voiced Gavin MacLeod on The Love Boat, guest stars on Columbo, and the Cryptkeeper on Tales from the Crypt.
