When he went to Paris, he met Leo Joannon save him from despair and a sudden return to Lyon. He will play in his film The defrocked (1953). Because of his physique, his broken nose particularly remember a fight in a schoolyard, he often confided in supporting roles of gangsters, shady characters or police.
In 1959, he joined the cast of the NPT for a decade. He then played for directors like Bunuel ( Diary of a Chambermaid , 1965), Costa-Gavras ( Sub killers, 1965, and Z , 1968), Alain Cavalier (The Insounmis , 1964), Sidney Hayers ( The Star of South , 1968, where he will play opposite Orson Welles), Berri ( Piston, 1969), and will play in 1972 for television, the convict Jean Valjean in Les Miserables (Marcel Bluwal).
died of cancer in 1996, he was buried in Sain-Paul-de-Vence, a village in Provence where he liked to go to play bocce in the summer, with Montand and Ventura, his friends.
