    I’m just glad he’s starring in a movie called Glenn: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0934446/
    🙂

    I found two others without much trouble:
    François-Eric Gendron was in Rohmer’s “Boyfriends and Girlfriends,” and also played Insp. Marc Gautier in a Parisian-set 1995 episode of Ms. Lansbury’s show entitled “Murder a la Mode.”
    Also, Michel Voletti was in Rohmer’s “A Tale of Winter” as well as the partly Parisian-set Season 4 premiere of “Jessica Fletcher” (as the series is eponymously named in Finland). The episode is called “A Fashionable Way to Die.”

  • Moviezzz says:

    Not quite the same, but Arielle Dombasle starred in several Rohmer’s as well MIAMI VICE and THE RED SHOE DIARIES.

  • Mr. Peel says:

    For that matter, is Patrick Bauchau the only person to appear in an Eric Rohmer film and a James Bond film? There’s gotta be somebody else, but I don’t know who.

  • Brian says:

    To say nothing of his turn on THE PRETENDER, bringing to that silly show a grace and gravity it really didn’t deserve.

  • D Cairns says:

    He’s also in an Emmanuelle film, an Alan Rudolph film and an episode of Columbo.

  • colinr says:

    And don’t forget he was also the police inspector in Dario Argento’s Phenomena!

  • cadavra says:

    Yes, but as I once pointed out to Robert Stack, he was the only actor to work with both Deanna Durbin and Beavis & Butthead!

  • Dave Kehr says:

    And to make it even better, Bauchau was a member of New York’s earliest auteurist clique, with Andrew Sarris and Eugene Archer. Archer also makes an unbilled appearance in “La Collectionneuse,” which Bauchau co-wrote.
