Christian Clavier is a French actor born May 6, 1952 in Paris.

After his studies at Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris (Sciences Po) he started his careers in the comedic theater troupe of Splendid and participated in a number of burlesque fims with the troupe like Les Bronzés font du ski (The Bronzés Go Skiing), Le Père Noël est une ordure (Santa Claus is trash), etc.

But, his notoriety increased in 1993 because of his role as Jacquouille la Fripouille in the film les Visiteurs (the Visitors) and the popular cry of his character: "Okkkkkkkayyyyyyy!!!"

Consequently, he became a notable enough actor to partake in the television projects: Astérix et Obélix contre César, , and the series Visiteurs in the cinema. On television he quickly played dramatic roles: Thénardier in Les Misérables (2000 television version) and Napoléon in a biographical television film.
