Pierre Repp
Acting
Pierre Repp (5 November 1909 in Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise, France â 1 November 1986 in Plessis-TrĂ©vise, France) was a French humorist and actor. His real name was Pierre Alphonse LĂ©on FrĂ©dĂ©ric Bouclet. On 14 August 1930, he married Ferdinande Alice AndrĂ©e Bouclet in Lille. He is famous in France for his unique comic talent. He used to simulate stuttering while talking, in a humoristic way, trying to pronounce some words and finally replacing them by others. In a famous French sketch, "Les crĂȘpes", he explained the recipe that way, with sentences like this one: "Then you add some mamerlade, oh sorry ! Some marlamade... Uh! Me, I pour some chocolate". Pierre Repp appeared in many theatre plays and TV shows, but mainly in music-hall and cabarets in Paris or on tour. Pierre Repp has his place in the French cinĂ©ma story due to many "third-roles" in about forty films. Source: Article "Pierre Repp" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.
