After completing his studies at the prestigious Simon course, he rose to fame in 1973 for his captivating portrayal of Jean-Pierre Aumont's lover in François Truffaut's critically acclaimed film, La Nuit américaine. Concurrently, he took on the role of Count de Guiche alongside Claude Jade (Louise de La Vallière) in Le Château perdu, also released in 1973.
Fast forward to 1979, he starred as Martin in Alain Cavalier's Martin et Léa, a performance that showcased his remarkable range. In 1981, he brought to life the character of Ronald in Jean-Marie Poiré's comedy, Les hommes préfèrent les grosses.
In 1983, he reunited with François Truffaut to play Bertrand Fabre, the ex-husband of Fanny Ardant, in Vivement dimanche!. That same year, he appeared alongside Michel Blanc and Anémone in Patrice Leconte's Ma femme s'appelle reviens. His impressive filmography also includes a stint as the husband of Danièle Évenou in the popular television series Marie-Pervenche, which aired from 1984 to 1986.
Tragically, his final on-screen appearance was in Claude Sautet's Quelques jours avec moi in 1988. Just a few months later, on March 13, 1988, he passed away suddenly due to a heart attack in Paris, mere weeks shy of his 40th birthday.
