- Alain Chabat
Alain Chabat (born
November 24 ,1958 inOran ,Algeria ) is a French Jewish [ [http://www.adherents.com/largecom/fam_jews.html Famous Jews ] ]actor and director who appeared in "La Cité de la peur ", "Gazon maudit ", "The Taste of Others " and "The Science of Sleep ". His career took off in 1987 when he founded the comedy group "Les Nuls" with Bruno Carette, Chantal Lauby and Dominique Farrugia. Les Nuls' first outing on French TV (on the paying channel Canal Plus) was a Sci-Fi spoof entitled Objectif Nul, which shares striking similarities with the British TV SeriesRed Dwarf , although both shows were released at roughly the same time and it is unlikely one influenced the other.Either as a member of Les Nuls (in "La Cité de la Peur") or in his own solo efforts as a director (, in which he also acted), Chabat is one of the scarce French comedians who has managed to successfully emulate the heavily referential, pop-culture-based writing style of the
Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker trio and adapt it to the tastes of the French audience.Chabat also voiced the title character in the French dubs of all three
Shrek films, replacing Mike Myers.He won the
César Award for Best Debut in 1998 for "Didier".References
