Pierre Richard
Biography
Pierre Richard is a French comedian and actor who ranked among France's supreme farceurs in the classic tradition, thanks to a guileless screen persona and clumsy physical comedy. He learned his craft in the Paris Music Hall before moving into minor film roles during the 1960s. In the following decade he committed himself to cinema, often directing and co-writing his own slapstick comedies. Praise for The Daydreamer and The Troubles of Alfred (1972) helped lead to the international hit The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe (1972), where he played an innocent concert musician mistaken for a secret agent, a part he returned to in The Return of the Tall Blond Man (1974). Work with Francis Veber and Gerard Depardieu yielded La Chevre (1981), The ComDads (1983) and The Fugitives (1986). His comedies, among them The Toy (1976), later inspired Hollywood remakes.
