Kamaszként először a QED rock zenekar, majd a Door 66 punkegyüttes gitárosa lett, ám végül nem zenészként, hanem színészként próbált meg érvényesülni, amikor beiratkozott a Guildhall School of Music and Drama-ba, ahol 1984-ben végzett.

Színészi karrierjét színpadi színészként és tévés sorozatokkal kezdte, és olyan produkciókban tűnt fel, mint a (1987), a The Road (1987) és a Félelem a sötéttől (1991). Első komolyabb alakítását, amely a kritikusokat is lenyűgözte, a Mezítelenül (1993) című film hozta meg számára. A főszereppel többek között Cannes-ban is kiérdemelte a Legjobb színész díját.

Thewlis több szakmailag és pénzügyileg is sikeres alkotásban szerepelt, ilyen volt többek között a Fekete szépség (1994), a Teljes napfogyatkozás (1995) Leonardo DiCaprioval, a Sárkányszív (1996) a Dr. Moreau szigete (1996) és a Hét év Tibetben (1997).

A Gengszterek gengsztere (2000) és az Idővonal (2003) után a fiatalabb közönség is megjegyezte a nevét a Harry Potter és az azkabani fogoly (2004) című regényadaptációban és folytatásaiban. A nemzetközi ismertség után olyan nagyobb produkciókban tűnt fel, mint a Mennyei királyság (2005), A csíkos pizsamás fiú (2008) című világháborús dráma, a Veronika meg akar halni (2009) című Coelho-regény filmfeldolgozása,  az Anonymus (2011), A zéró elmélet (2013) és a Stephen Hawking életéről szóló A mindenség elmélete (2014).

biography:
David Thewlis, bürgerlich David Wheeler, (* 20. März 1963 in Blackpool) ist ein britischer Schauspieler. Wheeler besuchte in London die Guildhall School of Music and Drama zusammen mit Ewan McGregor und Naveen Andrews. Dort kam er zum ersten Mal mit der Schauspielerei in Berührung und trat der dortigen Theatergruppe bei. Da es in dem Verein schon ein Mitglied namens David Wheeler gab, musste er einen anderen Nachnamen tragen und wählte Thewlis, den Geburtsnamen seiner Mutter, der ihm als erster einfiel.

Thewlis spielte in zahlreichen Nebenrollen, bis er 1993 im Kinofilm Nackt seine erste Hauptrolle erhielt und für diese Rolle gleich mit dem Darstellerpreis der Internationalen Filmfestspiele von Cannes 1993 ausgezeichnet wurde. Im selben Jahr verkörperte er auch in der Krimiserie Heißer Verdacht neben Helen Mirren und Ciarán Hinds einen gestörten Killer. In den folgenden Jahren spielte er in mehreren Filmen verschiedene Haupt- oder Nebenrollen, wie z. B. Black Beauty, Restoration – Zeit der Sinnlichkeit (1995), Dragonheart (1996) und Sieben Jahre in Tibet. Aufgrund seines Mitwirkens in diesem Film erhielt er ein lebenslanges Einreiseverbot in die Volksrepublik China, ebenso wie sein Schauspielkollege Brad Pitt und Regisseur Jean-Jacques Annaud. Für seine Darstellungen gewann er mehrere Preise und wurde u. a. auch für einen British Independent Film Award nominiert.

Ursprünglich sollte er auch die Rolle des Professor Quirrell in Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen übernehmen, die aber letztlich an Ian Hart ging. Stattdessen wurde er für Harry Potter und der Gefangene von Askaban verpflichtet, in dem er den Remus Lupin darstellte. Auch in den Fortsetzungen Der Orden des Phönix, Der Halbblutprinz und Die Heiligtümer des Todes war er in dieser Rolle zu sehen. Im Shakespeare-Thriller Anonymus von Roland Emmerich übernahm er 2011 den Part des Beraters von Königin Elisabeth I. William Cecil. 2005 spielte er den Hospitaliter im Monumentalfilm Königreich der Himmel und 2008 den Lagerkommandanten Ralf im Drama Der Junge im gestreiften Pyjama.

biography:
Claude-Jeanne Malca Gensac, dite Claude Gensac, née le 1er mars 1927 à Acy-en-Multien (Oise) et morte le 27 décembre 2016 à Suresnes (Hauts-de-Seine), est une actrice française.

Élève du Conservatoire de Paris, elle commence sa carrière au théâtre en jouant la tragédie. Remarquée, elle obtient des rôles au cinéma et à la télévision à partir des années 1950. Actrice d'allure distinguée, elle diversifie rapidement sa carrière en jouant dans des pièces de boulevard sous l'impulsion de son mari, Pierre Mondy.

En 1967, elle est choisie pour interpréter la femme du personnage joué par Louis de Funès dans le film Oscar d'Édouard Molinaro. Ce dernier est alors devenu une grande vedette de l'écran et l'osmose avec Claude Gensac, rencontrée en 1953 dans La Vie d'un honnête homme de Sacha Guitry, est telle qu'ils tourneront neuf autres films ensemble, la plupart devenant de grands succès commerciaux tels que Les Grandes Vacances, Le Gendarme se marie ou encore Jo.

Devenue une figure populaire du cinéma français des années 1970, Claude Gensac peine à relancer sa carrière après la mort de de Funès en 1983, tant elle est identifiée comme « son épouse à l’écran ».

Elle retrouve des rôles importants à partir de la fin des années 2000, jouant notamment avec Catherine Deneuve dans Elle s'en va en 2013. Elle est nommée en 2015 pour le César de la meilleure actrice dans un second rôle (ce qui fait ainsi d'elle l'actrice la plus âgée à être nommée pour ce titre) pour son rôle dans Lulu femme nue de Sólveig Anspach.

Клод Жансак

biography:
Клод Жансак (фр. Claude Gensac, настоящее имя Клод Жанна Малька Жансак / Claude Jeanne Malca Gensac) - французская комедийная актриса. Органичная партнерша Луи де Фюнеса на экране во многих фильмах.

В 1947 году окончила Высшую национальную консерваторию драматического искусства (Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique).

Прежде чем стать специалистом по комедийным ролям и даже по бурлеску, первые роли Клод играла драматические и трагические, о чём часто забывают: мадам де Монтеспан в серии «Драма рыб» телевизионного сериала «Камера исследует время» или соблазнительных представительниц высшей буржуазии, слегка стервозных, в таких фильмах как «Как выйти замуж за премьер–министра», «Султаны» и «Дневник женщины в белом».

По предложению французского филиала компании «Уолт Дисней», она попробовала себя в дубляже, озвучив роль плохой Королевы в новом дублировании «Белоснежки и семь гномов».

В кино Клод Жансак начинала у Саши Гитри в фильме «Жизнь порядочного человека», где она играла бок о бок с Луи де Фюнесом и исполнила роль горничной Эвелин. В 1966 году сыграла в фильме Жана Делануа «Итальянская любовница / Султаны». В целом среди её кино–ролей преобладали в основном роли второго плана, но публика запомнила её как актрису, более 10 раз игравшую вместе с Луи де Фюнесом, причём чаще всего – в качестве его жены на экране.

Знакомство Клод Жансак с Луи де Фюнесом произошло в 1952 году, когда он сказал актрисе: «Я хочу, чтобы вы играли во всех моих фильмах, вы приносите мне успех». Клод Жансак впоследствии сыграла более чем в в десяти комедиях с великим французским комиком, в которых преимущественно играла роли его жен, среди наиболее известных: Изабель Боскье в «Больших каникулах» (1967, реж. Жан Жиро), Жермен Барнье в «Оскаре» (1967, реж. Эдуард Молинаро), Эдмен в «Замороженном» (1967, реж. Эдуард Молинаро), Маргарита в ленте Клода Зиди «Крылышко или ножка» (1976), Фросина в экранизации пьесы Мольера «Скупой» (1979, реж. Луи де Фюнес и Жан Жиро), в серии фильмов о жандарме Крюшо исполнила роль Жозефы. В 2001 году исполнила роль Мами Муссон в комедии Габриэля Ажиона «Распутницы» с участием Жозиан Баласко и Натали Бай.
