Guest at the event In addition to on Canal + this Thursday, December 1, actor José Garcia returns to Nathalie Lévy at the start of his complicated career, but also after The truth if I lie.
Actor José Garcia has experienced a slow career rise. He first studied accounting so his parents would be convinced before deciding to take Florent lessons and then took training at the Fratellini circus school and at the Actors Studio in New York. But his success came with the film The truth if I lie directed by Thomas Gilou in 1997, where he embodied the unforgettable Serge Benhamou. It was clear that the glory was hard to manage for him.
“It was so hard, I couldn’t handle it, nobody could handle it… I made enemies, people were mad at me because I hadn’t read the script, but I couldn’t. I was so caught up in this tornado that I did my best. For 10 years I couldn’t play anything because I was too big, or too small, or too young, or too old… And suddenly, even a guinea pig, I could do it. It completely changes the game and suddenly gets tricky“, he confessed.
José Garcia also revealed that he could star in a great French comedy: Welcome to Ch’tis directed by Dani Boon. “Ch’tis script arrived, but I called Dani to tell him, I didn’t even read it, I couldn’t even read it because I was off work anyway so here it is.“he told Nathalie Levy.
