Pierre Arditi (born 1 December 1944) is a French actor, whose career in film, stage, and television has spanned six decades.
He is known for his collaboration with director Alain Resnais in nine films, including Mélo (1986) and Smoking/No Smoking (1993), both of which earned him a César Award.
Born in Paris, his father was the painter Georges Arditi, from Marseille of Jewish descent,[2][3] and his mother Yvonne Leblicq was Belgian from Brussels.
Because of the added footage in the DVD Special Edition of Donner's Superman, the film had to be re-dubbed with a different voice actor.
[1] He was made Chevalier (Knight) of the Ordre national du Mérite on 7 April 1994,[4] and promoted Officier (Officer) in 2005.
