Hein Boele

Hein Boele (b. 1939) is a Dutch voice actor who dubs Elmo, Benny Rabbit, and Sherlock Hemlock on Sesamstraat, the Dutch co-production of Sesame Street. He reprised Elmo on spinoffs including Elmo's Wereld (Elmo's World) and Het Furchester Hotel (The Furchester Hotel). He voiced Gobo Fraggle and Pa Gorg on the Dutch dub of the animated Fraggle Rock series.
In a 2015 interview, Boele explained the troubles he had with getting used to Elmo's new voice and rhythm, when Kevin Clash took over the role from Richard Hunt. His uptempo in speaking and unpredictableness was not easy to get used to. But after a while he had managed handling the dubbing. Boele was surprised hearing from Kevin Clash himself, that in Clash's opinion, Hein Boele's Elmo was one of the best he had heard on the international level.Dutch interview with Hein Boele
Boele dubbed Jim Broadbent in the Harry Potter movies and David Morris in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. For Disney, he dubbed Rabbit in the Winnie the Pooh franchise, Eleroo on The Wuzzles, and parts in Atlantis: The Lost Empire and The Rescuers Down Under. On-camera, he has been seen in Dutch film and television as well as one-time bits on the British soap opera Triangle and the German series Tatort. He has been heard in audio books and on Dutch radio since the 1970s, including Biblical dramas, War and Peace (Nikolai Rostov), and Sherlock Holmes (Inspector Lestrade).
