Michel Caron (29 April 1929 in Sèvres - 3 September 2001 in Le Mesnil-Simon, Eure-et-Loir) was a French operatic tenor and stage actor.

He sang in operettas like The White Horse Inn (1960) and opéra-bouffe La Périchole with Jean Le Poulain and Roger Carel, and Barbe Bleue with Jean Le Poulain and Arlette Didier (1968).

From childhood, Michel Caron wanted to become an actor. He entered the René Simon class, then the Conservatoire de Paris where he won three first prizes: opera, comic opera and operetta.

Caron's career began at the Théâtre du Châtelet to perform Guy Florès during a revival of The White Horse Inn (1960/1961).

He was then at the top of the bill for two plays of opéra-bouffe, performed in 1968, La Périchole with Jean Le Poulain and Roger Carel and Barbe Bleue with Jean Le Poulain and Arlette Didier.

Demon Is on the Island
Title: Demon Is on the Island
Character: Léon Hernandez
Released: March 30, 1983
Type: Movie
An epidemic of appliance madness unrelated to discount sales strikes an island off the coast of France: the islanders are being murderously attacked by ovens and refrigerators acquired in the same department store. Enter the young Dr. Gabrielle Martin (Anny Duperey), who arrives here to escape her own personal tragedy and instead lands in the middle of the kitchen mania. She tracks down the cause of the rapidly spreading epidemic to another doctor on the island — quite as insane as any of the kitchen appliances (if the comparison could be made) — and finds that the villainous doctor and the appliances have a most unusual link. Graphic scenes of mutilation by an oven, as one example, leave nothing much to the imagination in this film, but the interpretations of actors Anny Duperey and Jean-Claude Brialy as the good and evil doctors are excellent.
