Live and act

Zola grew up in Cairo from the age of eight , where his parents had moved. He lived there until he was 40 and played in amateur theaters. During the Suez Crisis , he left Egypt and settled in Paris.

It was here that Jacques Tati discovered him and gave him a bigger role as a technophile, stuffy-looking family man in his comedy My Uncle . Afterwards, Zola, who was versed in six languages, was a busy supporting actor in French, American, and German films; for example in 1965 in the French multi-part series Belphégor or the secret of the Louvre . The 230-pound actor was frequently seen in series on German television in the 1970s.
