Gérard Depardieu knew at a young age the he want to become an actor. He took part acting lessons at the age of 15. It followed first appearances at the Theéâtre National de Paris and he played a role in "Le beatnik et le minet" (67). The TV serial „Rendez-vous à Badenberg“ (70) brought him into contact with the medium film.

After that began his unstoppable rise to a clever actor who went down in film history. With „Les valseuses - Die Ausgebufften“ (73) at Patrick Dewaere's side he already let foreseen his potential.

In spite of his bulky appearance which would fit to a butcher and his awkward looking he amazed with his sensibel play time and again. He was able to convincingly perform the control of his outbreaking energy and his sensitivness. 

He acted in Bernardo Bertolucci's „1900“ (76), it followed „Le dernier métro - Die letzte Metro“ (80) - for which he was awarded with a César - and especially „Loulou“ (80), which established his fame.

Gérard Depardieu was often called on for literary filmings, among them „Le retour de Martin Guerre - Die Wiederkehr des Martin Guerre“ (81), „Danton“ (82) and „Cyrano de Bergerac“ (89), for which he was awarded again with a César and also nominated for an Oscar.

„Jean de Florette“ (86), „Camille Claudel“ (88), „Germinal“ (93), „Le Colonel Chabert“ (94), „Astérix et Obélix contre César“ (99) and the serial „Les Misérables“ (00) are only few more movies extracted from his extensive work.

He launched his career in the USA with „Green Card“ (90), it followed movies like „1492: Conquest of Paradise“ (92), „Hamlet“ (96), „The Man in the Iron Mask“ (98) and „102 Dalmatians“ (00). 

Appropriate to his roles he has a reputation in his private life with some experience with the prison and sexual lapses in his youth. 
One can be curious how his career will develop in the future. His movies will always keep an event.
