The actor Jean Brochard found out soon his enthusiasm for the performing
art. Already as a child he played in little theater plays, later he joined
the troup of Francine Vassen and launched his professional career.
But when World War I broke out his career came to a standstill and he
had to go to the front where he was seriously injured - it followed a long
time of convalescence.
At the beginning of the 30's he gained a foothold in the film business
where he first impersonated small roles. To his first movies belong "La
femme invisible" (33), "Inspecteur Grey" (36), "Forfaiture" (37), "Nord-Atlantique"
(39), "Miquette" (40), "L'enfer des anges" (41), "Caprices" (42), "Cécile
est morte" (44) and "Carmen" (45).
Jean Brochard experienced the height of his career after World War II.
His roles were still limited to bigger support roles but he was able to
play with some of the greatest stars because of his acting talents.
To his well-known post-war movies belong "La femme en rouge" (47),
"Rapide de nuit" (48), "Retour à la vie" (49), "Millionnaires d'un
jour" (49), "Sous le ciel de Paris" (51), "Le voyage en Amérique"
(51), "Capitaine Pantoufle" (53), "Les diaboliques" (55), "Les espions"
(57), "Les violents" (58) and "Ein Engel auf Erden" (59).
A disease forced Jean Brochard to give up his film career. He was admitted
to the Legion of Honour in 1970.
