I was born in a family in which practice of arts was virtually natural.

My father appeared in cabarets as a tenor, singing Neapolitan tunes...
My brothers studied the piano and opera singing .
My uncle was an artisic director of  major record Companies.

   So, its is quite naturally that my mother sent me to the “Show School” in French “L’Ecole duSpectacle”.....

I began -after several tests- at 5 years old in Marianne Oswald s’ “ P comme Perroquet” in English “ P. as Parrot ” for  T.V.

Selected by Cécile Aubry to succeed her son Mehdi in “ Poly ” I acted in “ Poly au Portugal ”. The shooting took place in Nazaré in 1965 and lasted 2 months. This serial was so successful  that it brought me to be

selected again for 2 another “Poly” , so: “ Help Poly, help! ” and “ Poly and the Black Diamond
From this time, bookings followed one another :

Fashions shots for Catherine Harley Models Agency .

Guest of honor for many “ Christmas Trees .

In 1968 I had the great privilege to act with Madeleine Renaud and Charles Vanel - outstanding  French actors- in The  Great Expectations ” adapted from Charles Dickens, a magnificent play in which I was    given a very important part.

Selected then by French director Claude Chabrol,  I was booked in 2 films :

The Unfaithful Woman ” in French “ La Femme Infidèle ”  with Michel Bouquet,  Stéphane Audran,    Maurice Ronet, and

May the Beast Die  in French “ Que la Bête Meure ” with Jean Yanne, Michel Duchaussoy,  Caroline Cellier, Anouk Ferjac , and my brother Marc .

I have kept an excellent impression of shootings with Claude, who really enjoys the pleasures of life and loves actors !

Then I embarked to New-York on the passenger ship “France”  to act and tell  its story, broadcasted  under the title  Once upon a time, there was a Big Ship ”, in French “ Il était une fois un Grand Navire ” with René Roussel.
In 1970  followed a serial for the youth “ The Fairies Cave ” in French “ La Grotte aux Fées ” , with André Weber.
In 1971 a TV play “ Jack ” adapted from Alphonse Daudet, directed by Serge Hanin, with Evelyne Séléna, Paulette Dubost , Claude Titre and Bernard Haller.

In 1972 : “ My nephew of America ” with Georges Marchal.
In 1973 “ Christine ” for Telvetia-Switzerland.

Then in 1974,  I acted in “ Change of Seasons ” with Marie Dubois and François Dyreck.

And in 1979 in “ Marry them alive ! ” with Micheline Dax, Corinne Le Poulain and Guy Marchand.                                                              

Wonderful times spent with all these actors, beautiful and touching stories and so well directed,

which allowed me to travel to the U.S.A and through Europe...
I was very lucky to meet extraordinary and hearty people. It was so Magical !


I was then only 20 years old, and 15 of business, 15 years passed fast as a flash of lighting.

  I decided to stop my  course to go on  to other
