About Laurent Malet
Born 1955. Laurent Malet is a French actor, film actor, film director, screenwriter and television actor.
Life and career Malet's stage debut came in La guerre de Troie n'aura pas lieu as Troilus alongside Claude Jade in 1975. In 1978 he was made famous by his role as Andrew alongside Donald Sutherland, Lisa Langlois and Stéphane Audran in Les Liens de Sang by Claude Chabrol. That same year, Gilles Béhat gave him the lead role in Haro. In 1979, he starred alongside Yves Montand in Les Routes du sud by Joseph Losey and played Lino Ventura's son in Jigsaw (L'Homme en colÚre). He also played Roger Bataille in Rainer Werner Fassbinder's Querelle (after Jean Genet), and starred alongside Sandrine Bonnaire in 1984's Tir à vue, directed by Marc Angelo. In 1995 he played Arthur Rimbaud in Marc RiviÚre's L'Homme aux semelles de vent.
Highly attached to his brother and mother, he was asked by the latter (in the terminal stages of a brain tumour) to put an end to her sufferings. He writes of this in his 2006 book En attendant la suite, in which he calls on the candidates in the presidential election to bring the state to legislate on euthanasia.
