Laurent Malet

Laurent Malet (born 3 September 1955, Saint-Tropez) is a French actor, and the twin brother of actor Pierre Malet.

Life

After his stage debut in "La guerre de Troie n'aura pas lieu" as Troilus alongside Claude Jade in 1975, in 1978 he was made famous by his "Andrew" alongside Donald Sutherland and Stéphane Audran in "Les Liens de sang" by Claude Chabrol. That same year, Gilles Béhat gave him the lead role in "Haro". En 1979, he starred alongside Yves Montand in "Les Routes du sud" by Joseph Losey and played Lino Ventura's son in "L'Homme en colère". He also played "Roger Bataille" in Rainer Werner Fassbinder's "Querelle" (after Jean Genet), and starred alongside Sandrine Bonnaire in 1984's "Tir à vue", réalisé by Marc Angelo. In 1995 he played Arthur Rimbaud in Marc Rivière's "L'Homme aux semelles de vent".

Highly attached to his brother and mother, he feels asked by the latter (in the terminal stages of a brain tumour) to put an end to her sufferings. He writes of this in his 2006 book "En attendant la suite", in which he calls on the candidates in the presidential election to bring the state to legislate on euthanasia.
