Gilles Béhat

Born: 1949-09-03

Gilles Marc Béhat (3 September 1949) is a French filmmaker and actor. Gilles Béhat (Béat by birth) was born in Lille. The confusion around the "h" in his last name stems from an error in the credits of the first film he participated in as an actor: L'Hercule sur la place. As a teenager, he played guitar with a rock band. He attended the Conservatoire d'Art Dramatique, taking acting classes. He launching his career as an actor by taking roles in television series such as that of Pierre Vignard in L'Hercule sur la place and Charles IV le Bel in Les Rois maudits (1972) as well as in the cinema in films like Gérard Pires's 1970 film Elle court, elle court la banlieue, Jean Yanne's 1972 film Chobizenesse and Bernard Paul's 1975 film Beau Masque. As a director, he made a series of feature films, including many detective and action films. He gained attention after the released of his 1984 gangster film Rue barbare. Several of his subsequent films, including Dancing Machine starring Alain Delon, were relative commercial failures. He then turned to television, where he directed series for TF1, France 2 and Canal+ in the 1990s. In 2008, he returned to cinema, directing Diamant 13; a noir starring Gérard Depardieu, Olivier Marchal and Asia Argento.
