Henri Marteau

Born: 1933-01-16

Les amateurs de cinéma de l'après-guerre, se souviendront du visage d'Henri Marteau, second rôle assez prolifique, mais dont le nom a été quelque peu oublié. Ses débuts, à la limite de la figuration, expliquent son absence de certains génériques. Il apparaît quelques secondes dansUn témoin dans la ville, de Édouard Molinaro, dans Le Grand Restaurant avec Louis de Funès où il incarne tout aussi brièvement, le deuxième inspecteur. Dans Le mors aux dents, il sera ministre, puis automobiliste en panne dans le film deJean L'Hôte, La Communale, trafiquant dans Une Sale Affaire. On notera surtout sa prestation comme colon français et père de Catherine Deneuve, dans Indochine. On le découvrira plus facilement à la télévision, dans Les coquelicots sont revenus et Poil de carotte de Richard Bohringer. Également au détour de bon nombre d'épisodes des Cinq Dernières Minutes avec Raymond Souplex, mais aussi dans la saison avec Jacques Debary, et également dans Les filles du maître de chai. Il meurt à Paris à l'Hôpital Saint-Louis, à l'âge de soixante-douze ans.
