Zoltán Basilides

Zoltán Basilides (1918-1988) was a Hungarian actor who dubbed Sam the Eagle on Breki és a többiek (The Muppet Show) and in Brekiék Hollywoodban (The Muppets Go Hollywood).
Basilides originally trained as an opera singer but switched to drama, appearing as the Ghost in Hamlet and other plays. After several minor film roles, he was a regular on the early Hungarian TV series A Tenkes kapitánya (1964) as the perpetually foiled Captain Bruckenbacker and remained active on TV through the 1980s. 
He was busiest on radio, however, beginning in the 1950s, lending his bass tones to adaptations of David Copperfield, The Jungle Book, Dr. Faustus, Tom Sawyer, Detective, and The Little Prince (as the drunkard). His dubbing work was more infrequent, initially minor roles in European imports such as the 1958 version of Les Misérables, while occasional larger assignments included George Kennedy in The Boston Strangler and Peter Bull in Doctor Dolittle.
