PHILIPPE BERGERON

 
 

Philippe Bergeron appeared opposite Robert Downey Jr and Mickey Rourke in a pivotal scene from “Iron Man 2.”  “We shot the scene both in English and French,” notes Philippe Bergeron. “I didn’t know which scene would end up in the film.” It was the French.


Also Philippe has appeared with Alan Rickman in Bottle Shock, playing "Pierre Tari," the lead French character. "We shot in Napa and Sonoma Valley, really one of the most beautiful shoots I have ever done," continues Philippe, a veteran character actor.


Although Philippe is known for his staple of French characters, (“Rush Hour 3,” “Mad Men,” “Entourage”) he has recently veered off the beaten path, playing the American jewelry owner in the series finale of “Las Vegas,” the Israeli Prime Minister in Comedy Central's “Mind of Mencia,” the French-Canadian mobster in the season premiere of “The Sopranos” final season, the Arabic restaurant owner in “The Shield,” the Congolese-speaking doctor in “ER,” or the jewish car salesman opposite Parker Stevenson in “The Takeaway.”
