As a theater actor, he has not left the stage since the beginning of the 1980s. He worked several times with Bernard Murat, who made him the ideal interpreter of Georges Feydeau. Overall, he acted in more than thirty plays

In 2015, he received a nomination at the Molière Award for his role in the play Le Système, directed by Didier Long.

Spotted by Jean-Michel Ribes, he joined the series Palace in 1988.

But it was his role as the grocer Collignon in Amélie that popularized him. Since then, he became a figure of the french cinema who appears often on screen in memorable supporting roles.
