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.
