He has interpreted the character of Enrico Maxwell in both Hellsing and Hellsing Ultimate, and has received recognition for his incarnation of Rubeus Hagrid in numerous Harry Potter video game adaptations. In 2023, he was awarded a Voice Arts Award for Outstanding Video Game Character by the Society of Voice Arts and Sciences for his work in Harry Potter: Magic Awakened. Blanc is a leading voice director in video games and directs both live action performance capture and voiceover on many of the top AAA titles.
