Jacques Dufilho (1914-2005) |

- Michel Galabru, Le juge et l’assassin (The Judge and the Assasin), France, 1975. What a role to lose…! And to a comic! The serial rapist and killer, since bitten by a rabid dog, raped by a priest, ruined in an insane asylum and rejected by every woman on his planet, was Galabru’s breakthrough - leading to a career of 290 films during 1949-2015.
- Arno Chevrier, Iznogoud (Iznogoud - Caliph Instead of the Caliph), France, 2004. The Grand Vizir of the Caliph of old Baghdad was co-created in French comicbooks by René Goscinny (of Asterix fame). He also co-wrote the first movie script with auteur Pierre Tcherina in 1972 - “no deal - just for fun” - aimed at everyone b from Vittorio Gassman to Peter Sellers. With Dufilho or Jean-Pierre Marielle in the mix for Dilat Laraht. The 2004 version aimed much lower.
