Bernard Farcy (French pronunciation: [bɛʁnaʁ faʁsi]; born 17 March 1949) is a French actor who has starred in over 70 plays, television series and films.
He is best known for his role as Commissaire Gérard Gibert in Luc Besson's action-comedy franchise Taxi, as well as his appearances in national box-office successes such as Marche à l'ombre (1984), The Three Brothers (1995), Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001), and Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra (2002), the latter of which has attained cult status in France.
Farcy's performances in more somber movies have also been noted — to the likes of Our Story (1984), Le Solitaire (1987), and Let Sleeping Cops Lie (1988). His interpretation of statesman Charles de Gaulle in the 2006 TV mini-series Le Grand Charles earned him a nomination for the International Emmy Award for Best Actor.[1]
