Alexandre Astier

Born: June 16, 1974
in Lyon, Rhône, France
La passion première d'Alexandre Astier n'est pas la comédie mais la musique.Très jeune, il entre au Conservatoire avant de poursuivre ses études à l'American School of Modern Music à Paris. En parallèle, il suit ses premiers cours de théâtre et se met peu à peu à l'écriture. Très vite, il monte deux pièces écrites par ses soins : en 1997, Poule Fiction, et en 2000, L'étrange assistant du Docteur Lannion. C'est grâce à sa prestation sur scène à Lyon dans Le jour du froment qu'il se fait remarquer par les professionnels. Il se distingue notamment dans la pièce de Jacques Chambon, Nous crions grâce. 

Après avoir composé des musiques pour des courts-métrages tels que Soyons sport et Un soupçon fondé sur quelque chose de gras, il se lance dans la réalisation de son propre court, Dies iræ, qui remporte le Prix du public 2003 du Festival Off-Courts. Celui-ci donnera naissance à la série Kaamelott qui l'a fait connaître auprès du grand public. Il est à la fois réalisateur, scénariste et acteur de cette fiction qui met en scène la légende des chevaliers de la Table Ronde. Elle a remplacé avec succès Caméra Café sur l'antenne de M6 à partir du mois de Janvier 2005. Tandis qu'il s'offre le rôle du Roi Arthur, il en profite pour faire jouer sa famille. Ainsi, son père Lionel Astier obtient le rôle de Léodagan, son frère Simon Astier celui d'Yvain, Joëlle Sevilla, sa mère, celui de Sévi et Josée Drevon, sa belle-mère, celui d'Ygerne. Il va même jusqu'à composer les musiques de la série ! A partir de 2006, il décline l'univers de Kaamelott dans une BD dont il a écrit le scénario. 

Il décroche son premier rôle au cinéma en 2006 dans le film Comme t'y es belle !, aux cotés de Michèle Laroque, puis il enchaîne avec le blockbuster français Astérix aux Jeux Olympiques. En 2008, il endosse le rôle de Reiser, grand dessinateur et ami de Coluche, dans le film d'Antoine de Caunes, Coluche, l'histoire d'un mec. L'année suivante, il offre un registre inattendu avec son rôle d'ex-mari confident de Sophie Marceau dans LOL - Laughing Out Loud. Il fera un petit retour à la télévision en 2010 le temps d'un caméo dans la série de son frère Simon, Hero Corp avant d'incarner en 2011 le méchant Clotindre dans Philibert, pastiche de films de cape et d'épée face à Jérémie Renier.

We discover a "curved" universe that proves to be even stranger than Einstein had envisioned, and harbours some objects - such as black holes - that still challenge today's scientists.
