Jean-Pierre Léaud
Biography
Jean-Pierre Léaud is an actor who became an icon of the French New Wave. Born in 1944, he began acting at thirteen and was cast by François Truffaut as Antoine Doinel in The 400 Blows (1959), a role he reprised in four more Truffaut films ending with Love on the Run (1979). Through Truffaut he met Jean-Luc Godard and appeared in eight of his films, winning the Best Actor award at the Berlin Film Festival for Masculin Féminin (1966). He also worked with directors abroad, including Bertolucci on Last Tango in Paris (1972). In the late seventies and eighties he worked irregularly, mainly on television, and earned a César nomination for the crime comedy Les keufs. He made a comeback in the nineties with new New Wave directors such as Olivier Assayas and Aki Käurismäki.
