Gilbert Dalleu

Gilbert Dalleu (5 March 1861 – 1 March 1931) was a French stage and film actor from Saint-Pont.

Biography Gilbert Dalleu was born in Saint-Pont, France on 5 March 1861. Growing up, his parents wanted to send him to l’Ecole des Arts et Métiers to train to be an engineer, but he was disinterested in the idea. At seventeen, he was hired by the then-director of the theater L’Espérance on Avenue de Cichy. His first role was that of a chambermaid, as all other roles had already been filled for their production. Not long after, he went on an eight-month tour with Agar, passing through the major cities of France. In 1888 the tour ended and he returned to Paris to play d’Artagan in Jeunesse des Mousquetaires at the Ambigu theater. In 1889 he was cast as Laroque in Roger-La-Honte, and starred in a few other shows.
