Life

Paul Le Person was trained in the courses of René Simon, Francis Blanche brought him to the radio show Signé Furax . His first small film roles included Roger in Jean-Paul Rappeneau's Life in the Castle (1965) and the gas station attendant in Claude Lelouch's A Man and a Woman (1966). Bigger roles soon followed, for example as a friend of Philippe Noiret in Yves Roberts Alexander, der Lebenskünstler (1967). In 1968 he played the hero's friend in André Hunebelle's The Avenger from the Coffin ; together with Edmond Dantès ( Paul Barge ) and the young Linda ( Claude Jade ) he had adventures in South America and he later returned to France to convict the villains ( Michel Auclair , Raymond Pellegrin ).

The two films by Robert and Hunebelle made Paul Le Person popular. His greatest success was in 1972 his Perrache in Yves Roberts The Big Blonde with the Black Shoe . Le Person played Jean Rochefort's secret service assistant, who repeatedly saved the blond Pierre Richard from assassinations. He also played this role in the sequel The Big Blonde Returns (1974). Supporting roles followed in the mid-1970s: in Das Gespenst der Freiheit (1974) he appeared as a clergyman playing poker for devotional items, in Le Train - Just a Touch of Luck as a Gestapo commissioner. Jean-Jacques Annaud gave him a bigger role as Lozerand's football functionary in That's It For Me (1979). In the following years he worked again with Yves Robert ( The Twin , 1984), but also increasingly in more serious subjects such as The Wings of the Dove ( Les Ailes de la Colombe , 1981) as Dominique Sanda's father.

From the 1950s onwards, Paul Le Person also played regularly in the theater.
