Hubert Gagnon (died June 7, 2020) was a Canadian actor from Quebec. He was noted for being the voice-over of Homer Simpson in the Canadian French version of The Simpsons. He also acted in television and theatre.

Career

Gagnon was best known as the voice of Homer Simpson in the Quebec-dubbed version of The Simpsons, the voice of Mel Gibson in many movies, and also the character Picabo on the Québécois TV show Les Oraliens. He also dubbed the character Vernon Dursley in the famous Harry Potter films. He was also the voice of Optimus Prime in the Quebec dubbing of the original Transformers cartoon, but for the 2007 film, he was replaced by Guy Nadon, who had coincidentally portrayed Sideshow Bob alongside Gagnon in the Québécois dubbed version of The Simpsons.

Gagnon died on June 7, 2020, at his home in Longueuil, Quebec.[1] He was 73, and had been suffering from cancer in the years leading up to his death.[2]
