Georges Alain Thierry Feydeau (21 July 1934 – 14 January 2008) was a French actor, director and writer.
[1] At the Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique in Paris he won the first prize for comedy in 1958, after which he joined the company of the Comédie-Française, of which he remained a member until 1983.
During his time with the company Feydeau was appointed to the rank of Grand Pensionnaire, but was never made a full Sociétaire.
[1] In a stage career lasting nearly fifty years, Feydeau played in a wide range of plays, from French and foreign classics, such as Corneille's Le Menteur, Hugo's Ruy Blas and Schiller's Marie Stuart to 20th-century works by writers including Anouilh, Cocteau, Giraudoux, Sacha Guitry and Marcel Pagnol.
[4] On television Feydeau appeared frequently in the long-running series Au théâtre ce soir (At the theatre tonight), taking 21 different roles between 1968 and 1985.
