BIOGRAPHY

Denis Menochet (born 1977 in Enghien-les-Bains, Val-dOise) is a French film and television actor. Menochet is perhaps best known to an international audience for his role as Perrier LaPadite, a French dairy farmer interrogated by the Nazis for harboring Jews, in the 2009 Quentin Tarantino film, Inglourious Basterds. Elizabeth Weitzman, a film critic for the New York Daily News, praised Menochets work opposite Christoph Waltz in the opening scene of Inglorious Basterds. Weitzman wrote in August 2009, The terrific opening, for example, does feature a hailstorm of bullets. What youll remember best, though, is the haunted silence of actor Denis Menochet, playing a French farmer accused of harboring Jews.
