Denis Ménochet

Denis Ménochet is a French actor born on September 18, 1976, in Enghien-les-Bains, France. He began his acting career in 2003, initially appearing in French TV series and short films, before achieving international recognition for his role as Perrier LaPadite, a French dairy farmer, in the critically acclaimed 2009 Quentin Tarantino film, Inglourious Basterds. For this performance, which a critic praised for its "haunted silence" and power, he won a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. Ménochet has since become a prominent figure in both French and international cinema, known for delivering emotionally impactful performances. He has collaborated with major directors on films like Ridley Scott's Robin Hood (2010), Wes Anderson's The French Dispatch (2021), and Ari Aster's Beau Is Afraid (2023). He has been repeatedly nominated for the César Award for Best Actor for his roles in films such as Custody (2017), By the Grace of God (2018), and Peter von Kant (2022). His notable success in recent years includes winning the Goya Award for Best Actor for his lead role in the 2022 thriller The Beasts.
