Christian Clavier

Christian Clavier is, to me, one of the unsung architects of modern French comedy. Co-founding Le Splendid in the 1970s and then anchoring hits like Les Bronzés and Les Visiteurs, he helped define what a French nation laughs at. Comedy is harder than drama, and sustaining it for half a century until your country pins the Officer of the Legion of Honour on you is no small feat. I admire performers who make difficulty look effortless, and Clavier has done exactly that. He's proof that making people laugh is serious, lasting cultural work deserving of every honor he's received.
