Did You Know?

Personal Quote:

It's hard to imagine life without René. I'm from Yorkshire, and in rehearsals I would say in my own voice things like "oh 'eck!" - and that has got into the script. René actually says "oh 'eck!" because as in France, like Yorkshire, they don't pronounce their "H's". See more »

Trivia:

Comedy actor best known to TV audiences as the reluctant French Resistance hero René Artois in the iconic series 'Allo 'Allo! (1982). He also played the role on stage more than 1200 times. See more »
