Jacques Dufilho — Biography
Jacques Dufilho was a French stage, film and television actor, born on 19 February 1914 in Bègles; he died on 28 August 2005 in the Gers region. He began his screen career playing minor comic characters, appearing in both forgettable commercial films and more ambitious productions that left a mark on audiences, including Yves Robert's War of the Buttons and Louis Malle's Zazie in the Metro. He worked repeatedly with director Jean-Pierre Mocky. His career gained fresh momentum in the 1970s: he took a leading part in a film directed by Jean-Louis Trintignant, and won the César Award for Best Supporting Actor for playing a chief engineer in Le Crabe-tambour. That same year he portrayed a patriotic grocer in Jean-Jacques Annaud's Oscar-winning Black and White in Color, then a proud Breton peasant in an adaptation directed by Claude Chabrol. In 1980 he won a second César for portraying a mature homosexual character in Claude Sautet's A Bad Son. Late in his career he also took on the controversial role of Marshal Pétain in a film named after the wartime leader. He additionally received the Molière Award for Best Actor.
