Roger Tréville

Roger Tréville (born November 17, 1902 in Joigny , † September 27, 2005 in Beaumont , Dordogne department , Aquitaine , France ) was a French actor .

Tréville began his more than fifty-year film career in 1921 in the two British silent films Married Life (directed by his father, veteran director Georges Tréville ) and The Rotters . Before he retired from the film business in 1974, he appeared in about 40 roles in front of the camera. Tréville made French films as well as films in Great Britain, the USA and Italy. In 1968 he made an appearance in an episode of the West German series Graf Yoster gives himself the honor and in the international co-production under German leadership, Secrets in Golden Nylons . In 1968 he played the organizer of the duel in the Stade Charléty in Alfred Hitchcock's Topas . Since this ending failed a test audience, Tréville's scene was cut out. The scene was published again in 1999 for a later DVD evaluation.

In France, Tréville was also a well-known voice actor . He voiced James Stewart, as did Joseph Wiseman in James Bond - 007 Chasing Dr. No . At the age of 101, after several failed attempts, he founded the Roger Tréville Fund , which is based on films and souvenirs from the careers of Georges and Roger Tréville.
