Gérard Caillaud

Gérard Caillaud

With a squat figure and wide range, prolific character actor Gerard Caillaud has starred in over sixty French films and television series since 1970. His debut came on the primetime theater show "Au Théâtre ce Soir," which featured the performer in six episodes through its penultimate season in 1985. Outside of the program, Caillaud's early work included his portrayal of a notary in "Les Femmes Savantes," the first of ten TV movies he would appear in during that decade. His introduction to the silver screen came in 1974 with "On s'est Trompé d'Histoire d'Amour," a bleak and unconventional romantic drama. In 1982, Caillaud garnered an impressive starring role in the small screen epic "Malesherbes, Avocat du Roi," in which he played the maligned King Louis XVI. The role scored the versatile actor unprecedented attention, and he next bowed in dual roles for the Roger Pigaut-helmed mini-series "Marcheloup," following it up with an appearance in "L'addition" (1984), playing a public prosecutor in the César Award-winning prison thriller. A genre chameleon, Caillaud also notably portrayed a father in the 1993 Sophie Marceau romantic comedy "Fanfan," but is perhaps best known as Mazaud, a regular in the long-running religious comedy "SoeurThérése.com."
