Netflix Movies Starring Marc Eyraud

With a physical appearance midway between determination (a square face, a mane of wavy dark hair) and lack of energy (commonplace facial features, banal figure), French thespian Marc Eyraud got cast more often as the man next door than as the epic hero. His average Joe look, leaning rather on the serious side, made him don the costume of chauffeur, educator, bartender and also, more than once, of priests, doctors and other booksellers. On the other hand, he occasionally took a walk on the wild side (clothes do not make the man!), exerting everyday racism (Elise, or Real Life (1970)) or going as far as to send his fellow man to kingdom come (the executioner in "Vidocq et Compagnie"). Only twice did he embody a famous figure (Jean-Jacques Rousseau in Valmy (1967), King Arthur for Rohmer). Such an aptitude to be indistinguishable, while being a blessing for those film directors who are eager to create the illusion of reality, proves a curse for actors like him playing mostly lackluster characters: supporting actors indeed tend to disappear from our memories, a fact unfair though inevitable.
