Roger Contebardo

Roger Contebardo is a French actor. He started acting in a strange way: as an engineer in computers industry. He noticed quickly that computer was not his way and decided to learn acting and try another path. Twenty years later, Roger played in more than thirty plays in various styles and about 25 TV or cinema movies, including feature films like “Les Irreductibles” or “Nos 18 ans”. His passion to discover more and more about acting made him meet Robert Castle (Lee Strasberg’s Institute former teacher) in Paris 15 years ago. Mr Castle’s technique and the work Roger has done with his company, International Theater New-York (he played Danny in latest ITNY production “Danny and the Deep blue Sea”) is now the barebone of Roger’s work on stage and in movies. His native language is French, but he can as well perform in English.
