One day while he was working on a medium-length film by director Luc Béraud, the latter's assistant fell ill. "I gave him a helping hand and he never left me. He was the one who introduced me to Claude Miller, Patrice Leconte and the others." Claude and Annie Miller were particularly important to him. "They followed me and helped me when I moved on to directing. » Michel Such, becomes one of the essential supporting actors of French cinema, with very popular films like The Best Way to Walk, Les Bronzés or even Come to My Place, I Live with a Copine.
