Biography
Mr. Chabat has been one of France's leading comedy filmmakers for over 15 years. Earlier, with Bruno Carette, Chantal Lauby, and Dominique Farrugia, he created the troupe Les Nuls. The group was the French equivalent to Saturday Night Live or Monty Python, writing and starring in television series. Mr. Chabat then began acting in films; his credits range from Josiane Balasko's Gazon Maudit (a.k.a. French Twist) and Agnès Jaoui's Le Goût des Autres (The Taste of Others), both of which brought him César Award nominations, to Michel Gondry's The Science of Sleep and Shawn Levy's Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian (as Napoleon). Millions of French moviegoers have also heard him as the voice of Shrek in the hit animated feature series, a fourth of which is due soon.
Mr. Chabat made his feature directorial debut with Didier, which he also wrote, produced, and starred in. Didier won the César Award for Best First Film. His second movie, Astérix & Obélix: Mission Cléopâtre, grossed over $100 million in France and remains one of the country's all-time top-grossing pictures. His other films as writer/director include Chez Wam's RRRrrrr!!!, starring Marina Foïs and Gérard Depardieu.
