 * Gérard Depardieu (born on 27th December, 1948)



Depardieu is one of France’s most prominent actors. He won a number of honors
including a nomination for an Academy Award for the title role in “Cyrano de
Bergerac” and the Golden Globe award for Best Actor in “Green Card”.

Depardieu spent more time in the street than in the classroom and left school at
13. At the age of 16, Depardieu left Châteauroux for Paris. There, he started
acting under Jean-Laurent Cochet, and went on to become one of France’s most
renowned actors. In 1986, his fame grew as a result of his performance as a
doomed, hunchbacked farmer in the film “Jean de Florette”. Five years later he
won a César for his starring role in “Cyrano de Bergerac”. More recently, he
played the role of Obélix in the three Astérix movies.

 * Jean-Paul Belmondo (born on 9th April, 1933)



Belmondo is a French actor initially associated with the New Wave of the 1960s.

Born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, west of Paris, Belmondo did not perform well in
school, but developed a passion for boxing and football.

His breakthrough role was in Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless (1960), which made him
a major figure in the French New Wave. Later he acted in Jean-Pierre Melville’s
philosophical movie Leon Morin, Priest (1960) and in Melville’s Film Noir crime
film The Fingerman (Le Doulos, 1963) and Godard again with Pierrot le fou. With
That Man From Rio (1965) he switched to commercial, mainstream productions,
mainly comedies and action films. Until the mid-1980s, when he ceased to be one
of France’s biggest box-office stars, Belmondo’s typical characters were either
dashing adventurers or more cynical heroes. As he grew older, Belmondo preferred
concentrating on his stage work, where he encountered success. He suffered a
stroke in 2001 and has since been absent from the stage and the screen.

 * Christian Clavier (born on 6th May, 1952 in Paris)



Clavier started his acting career with the theatre troupe “Splendid” and
participated in a number of burlesque films, which became hits with films such
as “Les Bronzés font du ski” and “Le Père Noël est une ordure“.

to date, was in the 1993 film “Les Visiteurs”, in which he played a character
known as Jacquouille la fripouille.

After “Les Visiteurs” he was a certified star, participating in big-budget films
like “Astérix et Obélix contre César”, “Astérix & Obélix: Mission Cléopâtre”,
and the sequel and remake of Visiteurs. He also played several dramatic roles on
television, including Mr. Thénardier in “Les Misérables” (2000 television
version) and “Napoléon” in a biographical television film.

Clavier has played in notable duos with:

• Jean Reno in Les Visiteurs (the Visitors), L’Opération Corned-Beef and
L’Enquête corse (The Corsica investigation).
