Philippe Noiret

November 26, 2006

One of my favorite actors, Philippe Noiret, died. The New York Times headline calls him, “an Actor of Elegance and Dry Humor,” and I couldn’t agree more. He starred in two of my favorite movies, Cinema Paradiso (imdb.com, amazon.com) and Il Postino (imdb.com, amazon.com), playing a Sicilian projectionist in the former and the poet Pablo Neruda in the latter. Yet both characters were the same, decent, kind man at their core.
