Klaus Kessler

Klaus Kessler (1940-2002) was a German actor who dubbed several minor characters on Jim Hensons beste Geschichten (The StoryTeller). He also dubbed Zoot and The Storyteller's Dog in Die Muppets feiern Jim Henson (The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson).

Based out of Munich, Kessler was a frequent on-camer actor on Aktenzeichen XY... ungelöst!, which re-enacted crimes in hopes of finding leads (a format later used on America's Most Wanted), appearing scores of times between 1975 and 2000. He was active in dubbing starting in the late eighties, usually in minor or utility roles, heard on Doctor Who (as Drathro in "The Mysterious Planet" story), the second dub of Cheers, Law & Order (over thirty guest actors), and the 90s dub of Transformers (as Kup and others). In films, he again mostly dubbed bits, such as guards, phone voices, or a bus driver in HouseSitter.
