Dalam memoarnya tahun 2006 Karpet Merah dan Kulit Pisang Lainnya, Aktor Inggris Rupert Everett menggambarkan pertemuannya dengan Dobtcheff di kereta kapal ke Paris, dan mengungkapkan reputasinya yang luar biasa sebagai "santo pelindung" profesi akting, menyatakan bahwa Dobtcheff "sangat legendaris bukan karena aktingnya melainkan karena kemampuan magisnya untuk menangkap setiap malam pertama di negara ini". Sering bepergian dan cenderung muncul di lokasi yang paling tidak terduga, jika tidak dapat menghadiri malam pembukaan, Dobtcheff akan tetap berusaha mengirimkan kartu kepada para pemerannya untuk mendoakan semoga produksinya sukses.

One of his many television roles was as the Chief Scientist in the Doctor Who story The War Games in 1969. In his 2006 memoir Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins, British actor Rupert Everett describes an encounter with Dobtcheff on the boat train to Paris, and reveals his extraordinary reputation as the "patron saint" of the acting profession, stating that Dobtcheff "was legendary not so much for his acting as for his magical ability to catch every first night in the country". Widely travelled and prone to pop up in the most unlikely of locales, if unable to attend an opening night, Dobtcheff will still endeavour to send the cast a card wishing the production good luck.
