The actor Christian Marin was well-known as a comedian in the first place but he also impersonated serious cahracters time and again during his long-standing career.

He began at the theater where he finally was spotted for the film. It followed smaller and bigger parts in movies like "Les tortillards" (60), "La bella Américaine" (61), "Le crime ne paie pas" (62), "Le Magot de Josefa" (63), "Pouic-Pouic" (63) and "Allez France!" (64).

When he impersonated the figure of Marechal des Logis Albert Merlot in the cult film "Le gendarme de St. Tropez" (64) at Louis de Funès' side, this marked his breakthrough and he became very popular to a huge public. Christian Marin also impersonated this role in the three sequels "Le gendarme à New York" (65), "Le gendarme se marie" (68) and "Le gendarme en balade" (70).
Other well-known movies of the 60's were "Les copains" (64), "Le chant du monde" (65), "Le mois le plus beau" (68) and "Faites donc plaisir aux amis" (69).

Christian Marin retired slowly from the big screen from the 70's but he was still busy for TV productions now and then. But his great passion belongs exclusively to the theater for several decades.
To his last cinematical works belong "Der Kurier des Zaren" (70), "La dernière bourrée à Paris" (73), "Le commando des chauds lapins" (75), the serial "Les folies Offenbach" (77), "Le voyage du Hollandais" (81), "L'été 36" (86) and "Carpe Diem" (00).
