[1] With Delicatessen (1991) by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro, Ticky Holgado saw his acting talent acknowledged.

He received two César Award for Best Supporting Actor nominations for Une époque formidable... and French Twist.

In September 2003, Holgado announced the remission of his lung cancer, which had considerably rarefied his appearances on the screen since 2000.

He left a posthumous message, in the form of a document which appeared on his hospital bed after taking him to surgery to remove his fourth cancerous tumor.

Ticky Holgado was buried at the Père Lachaise Cemetery (45th division).
