Biography

Michel Subor was a French actor who gained initial fame with the starring role, Bruno Forestier, in Jean-Luc Godard's second feature, Le petit soldat (1960), but the French government banned it until 1963 because of its political content, touching on terrorism during the undeclared Algerian War. He acted in a couple of American films in the late 1960s including the role of Claude Jade's husband in Alfred Hitchcock's Topaz. In 1999, he once again played a character named Bruno Forestier in Beau Travail, a highly praised variation of Billy Budd. He would go on to make three more films with its director, Claire Denis.
