Biography
Philippe Bergeron's upcoming projects for 2004 include The
Boxer, a computer-generated film in which he plays "Shorty," a
boxing promoter created with motion capture, much like Gollum in The Lord
of the Rings. Bergeron enjoys playing foreign-born characters --
French, Italian, Russian, Arabic, you name it. Recently, he played
"Nico" on the Emmy-Award winning series The
Shield. Other recent high-visibility TV roles include E.R.'s
season premiere, and you've seen him as the intense CIA operative Luc Trepanier
in ABC's Alias, with Jennifer
Garner.
Bergeron is best known for his portrayal of "Jean-Claude," the top French
agent under Jean Reno in Godzilla.
Recent films include Mangler
2, a thriller with Lance Henriksen in which he plays the third lead.
You've also seen him in The
Family Man with Nicolas Cage, Shadow
Hours with Peter Weller, Contact
with Jodie Foster, and Future
Murder, an independent psychological thriller in which he plays "Dr.
Thorne," the lead role. It premiered under critical acclaim at the
Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Other films include the
spoof of Bruce Willis' rapist in Plump
Fiction with Sandra Bernhard.
Bergeron made his TV debut on the NBC
sitcom Cafe Americain opposite Valerie Bertinelli, where he guest
starred as the relentless Immigration Inspector. It was followed
by an impressive series of roles on JAG, Jack and Jill, Sabrina
the Teenage Witch, Ellen,
Suddenly
Susan, Melrose Place, Power Rangers, Babylon
5, General Hospital, Murphy
Brown, Working,
Lois & Clark, Living Single,
The Jamie Foxx Show, Northern
Exposure, and many more. Bergeron has appeared in
three season finales (The
Naked Truth, The Nanny,
and
Caroline in the City,) and has had a recurring
role in The Young and the Restless. Other TV roles include
the prestigious Murder of Napoleon documentary on TLC in which he
played the title role.
Independent feature films roles include the lead villain in Mime's Eye,
a Grand Prize winner at the 1994 Rochester International Film Festival;
the French Papparazzi in Shooters, subject of a cover story on an
Entertainment Tonight; and the obnoxious real estate agent in Lost
Paradises with Jacqueline Bisset.
You will see him soon as an over-the-top psychopath in Rejected by Vultures.
He has also appeared in numerous national commercials, including Budweiser,
Almond Joy, Raviolio's, Chuck E. Cheese, and Baby Ruth. He is "the
voice of DreamWorks Studios" for all TV commercials in French-Canada, and
was the voice of Disney Studios three years in a row. He is particularly
fond of the bad-guy-with-an-edge roles - portraying dark, charismatic characters
with little potential for redemption, much like Nicholson in "Batman" or
Hopkins in "Silence of the Lambs." Says Bergeron: "They're the best roles.
You can be evil, yet funny. I love it!."
