Biography:Better known in France as a stage actor and director,"Jean Dasté" has also appeared with distinction in a number of important films. He made his screen debut as a student in "Jean Renoir"'s "Boudu Saved From Drowning" (1932) then played leads in two "Jean Vigo" films, "Zero de Conduite" and "L'Atalante". Dasté was the director of the Comedie de St.-Etienne stage company which he founded in 1947. "Francois Truffaut" acknowledged his admiration of "Jean Dasté"'s performance in "L'Atalante" by casting him in his somber and enigmatic "The Green Room" (1978). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
