Biography
Born 1941 in Paris, his father was a theater director and he trained at the Conservatoire National d'Art Dramatique de Paris and, resembling in youth a Botticelli angel, debuted at 16 in a series of small parts in French films. But he first attained stardom in Italian films, opposite Claudia Cardinale in Girl with a Suitcase, and as Marcello Mastroianni's younger brother in the intensely dramatic Family Diary (Valerio Zurlini, 1962). He won Best Actor at Venice for Almost a Man (1966) and appeared for Costa-Gavras in Sleeping Car Murders and Un homme de trop, as well as appearing opposite Catherine Deneuve in Demy's The Young Girls of Rochefort and Donkey Skin.
At 28, he produced—for the first time—as well as starred in Z, and shared in its Oscar for Best Foreign Film. And from then on, except for playing the adult Salvatore in Cinema Paradiso, acting played second fiddle to his distinguished producing career, including two Costa-Gavras films, State of Siege and Special Section and the Oscar-nominated Himalaya. He produced and directed the enormous worldwide hit Winged Migration, which was Oscar-nominated for Best Documentary of 2003.
