Michel Bompoil has built a long career as a French actor whose name has been turning up in credits for decades. He has worked in comedy more often than in any other register. 37 credits across 40 years is a rate most careers never reach. In cinemas, 'Stillwater' is the work that stuck — Rafe Laurent, specifically. 'Didier' is the other credit that tends to come up. The filmography reaches back well before the best-known title.
