Éric Caravaca (born 21 November 1966) is a French actor, film director and screenwriter.

The son of an engineer, Caravaca (of Spanish origin) studied literature while taking acting lessons. After obtaining his degree, he left for Paris, where he joined l'École nationale supérieure d'arts et techniques du théâtre, and completed his formation at the Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique. He then went to New York City in 1993, where he studied at the Actors Studio for a year.

Upon his return to France, he began his career in theatre and gained attention in Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. He made his film debut in 1996, in Un samedi sur la terre by Diane Bertrand. He played mostly small roles until C'est quoi la vie, directed by François Dupeyron in 1999, which earned him the César Award for Most Promising Actor. He worked again with Dupeyron in La chambre des officiers in 2001, and appeared as Luc in Patrice Chéreau's film Son frère in 2003, opposite Bruno Todeschini.

He directed his first film Le passager in 2006, in which he also played a role (Thomas), opposite Julie Depardieu, which was presented at the Venice Film Festival.

Biography

Fils d’un ingénieur BTP, il suit une scolarité normale, en parallèle de laquelle il s’inscrit au conservatoire de Rouen sur les conseils de son frère. Après avoir commencé des études de médecine, vite abandonnées, et obtenu un DEUG de lettres, il entre à l’École de la rue Blanche à Paris, mais n’y reste qu’un an. Il continue sa formation au CNSAD dont il sort en 1993, puis va à New York, à l'Actors Studio, profitant d’une année sabbatique. De retour à Paris, il refuse d'entrer à la Comédie-Française et commence sa carrière au théâtre.

Son premier rôle remonte à sa participation à Un samedi sur la terre, de Diane Bertrand, en 1996.
Mais pendant longtemps, il n’enchaîne que des seconds rôles. (La voie est libre, La vie ne me fait pas peur).

Au théâtre, il interprète En attendant Godot de Samuel Beckett.

Sa participation à C'est quoi la vie ? de François Dupeyron, en 1999, lui vaut cependant le César du meilleur espoir masculin.

Ensuite, il enchaîne La Parenthèse enchantée, Les Amants du Nil, La Chambre des officiers, Novo, Son frère, de Patrice Chéreau...

En 2006, il passe derrière la caméra en signant son premier long métrage, Le Passager, où il donne la réplique à Julie Depardieu. Il s’agit d’une adaptation de La Route de Midland d'Arnaud Cathrine.
