Jacques Villeret, drolement tragique

"Not all actors are comedians, not all actors are moving, not all actors are short and chubby, not all actors are shy, not all actors have tragic lives, not all actors died at the age of 53. Jacques Villeret is all of these things at once, and that is what makes him unique. Not unique in the way that movie icons can be, but unique nonetheless in the way he shines and exists, in his fragility and the way he touches us."
