Can You Guess These 10 Movies Without Laughing? Take the Quiz!

Thierry Lhermitte will probably always be remembered first and foremost as one of the iconic members of the Splendid troupe, along with his friends Gérard Jugnot, Christian Clavier (who he worked with frequently), Josiane Balasko, Marie-Anne Chazel, and the late Michel Blanc. However, his career also includes other popular successes on the big screen.

For instance, his collaboration with Philippe Noiret in the three “Ripoux” films by Claude Zidi stands out. In these movies, he played the role of François Lesbuche, a young provincial police officer who freshly arrives in Paris, disrupting the routine of Inspector Boisrond, whose unconventional methods clash with those of his overly eager new partner.

In 1998, another notable pairing occurred, this time with Jacques Villeret in “The Dinner Game” by Francis Veber, which was an adaptation of his own stage play. The film was a critical and public hit, winning three César awards (Best Actor for Jacques Villeret, Best Supporting Actor for Daniel Prévost, and Best Original Screenplay for Veber) and has amassed nearly ten million admissions in France to date.

Additionally, we should mention “An Indian in the City,” a film released exactly thirty years ago on December 14, 1994, where Thierry Lhermitte played Stéphane Marchadot, a young man who travels to the Amazon to find his ex-wife to have her sign divorce papers, only to discover that he is the father of young Mimi Siku, whose only dream is to explore Paris.
