Bernard Farcy

Bernard Farcy (; born 17 March 1949) is a French actor who has starred in over 70 plays, television series and films.

He is best known for his role as Commissaire Gérard Gibert in Luc Besson's action-comedy franchise Taxi, as well as his appearances in national box-office successes such as Marche à l'ombre (1984), The Three Brothers (1995), Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001), and Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra (2002), the latter of which has attained cult status in France.
