Thomas Karallus

Thomas Karallus (born on 10 October 1958 in Hamburg, Germany) is a German voice actor and actor, who wrote additional dialogue for three audiobooks released around 2001 in Germany. These audiobooks played the audio from episodes of the third series and since only Karallus was credited, it is possible that he was also responsible for the dubbing scripts of the German dub of the third series itself and likely more of the first four.

He is best known as the German voice of Kevin James and for starring in German television shows such as "Das Traumschiff", "Die Schwarzwaldklinik" and "Großstadtrevier". He also voiced in and directed some audiobooks in Germany.

He was also the voice for DVD commercials of Thomas & Friends in the late 2000s and early 2010s.

Trivia

 * He was only credited for "audiobook scripts" on the three audiobooks from around 2001 that played the audio of episodes from the third series with a few additional sentences. As no one else was credited for the "original" scrips, neither on said audiobooks nor anywhere, Karallus is the only person to come into question for writing the dubbing scripts. It is also unknown whether he also did the translations for the first, second or fourth series as at least the first four were released around the same time, but some terms or phrases were translated differently in one series than in the others. However, the latter was still the case in later series despite them being scripted by the same person.
