Biography:The son of a French theatrical director, "Jacques Perrin" studied acting at the Paris Conservatory. In films as a juvenile from 1957, Perrin blossomed into a talented and much sought-after European leading man. He won a brace of Venice Film Festival best actor awards in 1966 for his work in the Italian "Half a Man" and the Spanish The Search. Perrin starred in director "Costa-Gavras"' first film, "The Sleeping Car Murders"(1965); three years later, he functioned as producer for "Costa-Gavras"' landmark production Z. Continuing to wear two hats as actor and producer into the 1980s, Jacques Perrin produced the Academy Award-winning "Black and White in Color" (1975), then went on to play the older Salvatore in the 1988 "best foreign film" Oscar-winner "Cinema Paradiso." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
