Polish voice actor Miłogost Reczek–known in the video game industry for his roles in Polish dubs of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Cyberpunk 2077–has died at age 60. He had apparently been in treatment for cancer since 2018.
News of his passing comes from a Facebook post from Polish audiobook company Storytel. Reczek’s gravitas and talent had previously landed him the dubbing roles for characters like Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Star Wars films (originally played by Ewan MacGregor), and Talos, a side character in more recent Marvel movies (originally portrayed by Ben Mendelsohn).
A deeper search of Reczek’s filmography also shows he lent his voice to the Polish dub of children’s show Thomas the Tank Engine.
Polish news outlets and commentators praised Reczek’s talent and contributions to the world of Polish voice acting and dubbing. “Apart from his characteristic voice, which created many unforgettable roles, Miłek also had an irreplaceable sense of humor,” Storytel wrote on its Facebook page.
