In a business that burns through people quickly, François Perrot is a long-distance runner whose name has been turning up in credits for decades. Casting directors have gone to him for comedy more than for anything else. There are 76 entries on the filmography, most of them supporting work in other people's stories. Playing Le père in 'Exploits of a Young Don Juan' put him in front of the widest audience of the career. He also turns up in 'The French Minister'.
