Jacques Marin (9 September 1919 – 10 January 2001) was a French actor on film and television. Marin's fluency in English and his resemblance to the stereotypical Frenchman's looks made him a familiar face in some major American and British productions (Charade, The Train, Marathon Man) and Disney movies (The Island at the Top of the World and Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo).

Biography

Ancien élève du Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique de Paris, sa carrière cinématographique démarre vraiment en 1951 grâce à son rôle dans Jeux interdits.

Il tourne pas moins de 18 films avec son ami Jean Gabin.

Physiquement proche du stéréotype français, avec sa rondeur bougonne et sa moustache en brosse, il a joué dans de nombreuses productions américaines. Il maîtrise en effet parfaitement l'anglais, grâce à son épouse Patricia Hutchinson.

Cela lui permettra d'approcher de nombreuses stars, telles que Marlon Brando, Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant, Errol Flynn, Orson Welles, Burt Lancaster, Julie Andrews, Dustin Hoffman, Michael Caine, Anthony Quinn... Il doublera également de nombreux films américains en français, et notamment des dessins animés de Walt Disney.

En 1963, il joue le rôle du père dans la première réalisation de Claude Berri, Le Poulet, qui sera récompensée par une distinction au festival de Venise et un Oscar à Hollywood.

Il a joué aussi dans de nombreuses pièces de théâtre, diffusées à la télévision dans Au théâtre ce soir, et dans des séries télévisées comme Les Cinq Dernières Minutes.

Les cinéphiles le reconnaîtront dans le rôle de l'épicier collaborateur dans Mais où est donc passée la septième compagnie ?

Il fut l'un des fondateurs de l'Adami, association qui défend les droits des artistes.

Il habita longtemps à Meudon, dans les Hauts-de-Seine, avant de se rendre sur la Côte d'Azur à Mouans-Sartoux.

En 1994, le cinéaste Gérard Courant l'a filmé pour sa série cinématographique Cinématon. Il est le numéro 1650 de la collection. C'est sa dernière apparition au cinéma.


Décès
Il meurt à 81 ans, le 10 janvier 2001, dans une clinique cannoise des suites d'un œdème du poumon.

Il est inhumé dans le cimetière du Grand Jas à Cannes.

The film follows the adventures of Baron Munchausen, who is prompted to travel to the moon by his cousin Sirius, an astrologer convinced that it is inhabited by an ancient race called the Selenites. The Selentites incidentally possess the secret of immortality. The Baron takes up his cousin's offer and travels to the moon using a tall masted ship pulled by three hot air balloons and he is aided by his super-ability friends (who are from the prequel to this film, The Fabulous Adventures of the Legendary Baron Munchausen). When they reach the moon, they are initially placed in jeopardy as their craft lands in a crater and they fall into a subterranean sea inhabited by monsters; however, the Selentites come to rescue them and take them back to their kingdom where they meet the King and Queen. However, while he is there with his friends, the moon is invaded by the Green Meanies, led by the ostentatious Trivert, who will stop at nothing to get the talisman of eternal life for themselves. They manage to defeat the meanies and they are awarded the talisman for themselves and for Sirius - and they gain the secret of eternal life. The film ends with the Baron and Sirius at the end of the 20th Century, in a futuristic world inhabited by flying cars and skyscrapers reminiscing on their adventures.
