Fenes was born in 19 14. He worked as a craftsman and an accountant when he was young. This kind of life accumulated a lot of material for his later performances. Being a supporting comedian in a stage play created opportunities for him to hone his acting skills.
Although he set foot in the film industry from 1945, he always played a supporting role until 1957 when he was 43 years old. At this time, he was already the "French little old man". During his acting career, he created many roles of different professions and times, but his personality is the same. Through exaggerated body movements and expressions, he vividly depicts the typical character of the French civil class: kind and enthusiastic but selfish and suspicious, smart and capable but cunning and changeable. 1On October 27th, he died of a heart attack. I want to express my deep personal condolences to this great theatrical performance artist.
Finnis's most familiar role in China audience is the conductor in Escape from Danger, a short, short-tempered, bald old French man with small eyes and a big mouth. Even though he wears a big German military uniform and a helmet that covers his eyes, he still looks like that. Escape from Danger was released in China more than 10 years ago. Over the years, the audience has relived this masterpiece over and over again through TV, and many wonderful dialogues will still ring in their ears from time to time until now.
In addition to the film Escape from Danger, Fenes also showed several films in China: in The Missing President, he played the owner of a restaurant looking for the president, and in Tell the Judge Me, he played the owner of a mercenary factory; In Brave or Coward II, he plays a gourmet who loses his sense of taste at the end of the movie and can only judge a glass of wine by his eyes. During the performance, Fenes looked serious, stared at the wine in the glass, introduced the quality and origin of the wine endlessly, and flashed a funny and conceited expression on his face from time to time, which perfectly demonstrated his performance skills.
His famous works include a series of police films made in 1960s and 1980s, from 1 episode "The Police in St. Tropet" to the last episode of "The Police and Female Soldiers" with six episodes. Saint Tropet was originally a French tourist area, and the police station regarded as location in the film has become a new tourist attraction.
