First a biographical sketch:


Gerard Depardieu (1948 -    )



Occupation:	Actor
Born:		December 27, 1948, Chateauroux, France
Education:	Theatre National Populaire, Paris

Burly, highly talented leading man and one of Europe's most prolific
screen performers of the 1970s and 80s. Depardieu brings to his
portrayals an intensity and attention to detail that endows all his
characters with a sense of urgency. Landmark films include GOING PLACES
(1974), as a nihilistic but somehow lovable petty thug; GET OUT YOUR
HANDKERCHIEFS (1978), as a man who tries to cheer up his wife by
finding her a lover; The RETURN OF MARTIN GUERRE (1982), as a
16th-century peasant who may not be what he claims; JEAN DE FLORETTE
(1986), as a naive, inexperienced farmer; and CYRANO DE BERGERAC
(1990), in the title role of Jean-Paul Rappeneau's adaptation.
Depardieu is probably best known to American audiences as the star of
GREEN CARD (1990), Peter Weir's popular romantic comedy. He directed LE
TARTUFFE (1984) and co-produced A STRANGE PLACE TO MEET (1988) and the
Satyajit Ray-directed SHAKHA PROSHAKA/BRANCHES OF THE TREE (1991).
Depardieu's actress wife Elisabeth (nee Guignot) has appeared opposite
him several times, as in JEAN DE FLORETTE.
