When he appeared in Robert Rocca's Un certain monsieur Blot in 1964 , he met the director Jean Yanne and the actor Michel Serrault , with whom he later worked several times.

However, he became known on French television through the satirical show Le Petit rapporteur (1975-1976).

He has also written plays such as Vite une femme and Sodome et Virginie . For his first major dramatic role in the film adaptation Uranus (1991) alongside Gerard Depardieu and Philippe Noiret , he received a nomination for the César as Best Supporting Actor , he finally in 1999 for the role of a taxman in the film comedy The Dinner Game won .
His Danish wife Jette, a dancer he met at the age of 21 in a theater production of Molière's The Conceited Sick in Denmark, died on March 19, 2007. The three sons Sören, Christophe and Erling emerged from the relationship. In 2008, Prévost appeared on stage in the play Federico, l'Espagne et moi , directed by his son Erling.
