Michel Such, born in 1944 in Algiers, is a French actor, screenwriter and director. Michel Such entered the film industry somewhat by chance. "I was working in a bistro, the Santa Cruz, on rue Saint-André-des-Arts in Paris, near a film school.

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. Subscribed to supporting roles, silhouettes and appearances, everyone has already seen him at least once.
