“Mission Cleopatra”, “Angel A” and other films; in the first movie, he was notable even playing with Christian Clavier and Gérard Depardieu; lots of dialogs, jokes. In the second movie I’ve mentioned (which was categorized as “drama”), he was playing the main role: a typical loser and liar, saved by the Angel.
Still the style of playing was gluing me to the TV; the fact of losing right his arm in 1990 because of the accident with the train didn’t push him down, and in 2002 he has become the best paid actor in France. One of the most famous stand-uppers in France, please welcome – Jamel Debbouze.
Who’s got interested in this actor: his biography (in French, wasn’t bothered of translating it
), some interesting facts (from wikipedia), and his filmography ( from imdb).
