- Jean-Pierre Léaud nació el 28 de mayo de 1944 en París, Francia. Es un actor y asistente del director, conocido por Los 400 golpes (1959), Contraté un asesino a sueldo (1990) y Domicilio conyugal (1970).
- Often employed by directors as their screen alter-ego
- Often plays eccentric, usually penniless characters
- Often appears in experimental movies by new auteurs
- As he had so much respect for Marlon Brando and was afraid of working with him, all his scenes in Último tango en París (1972) were shot on Saturdays, when Brando refused to work. Thus, they didn't meet together during the entire shooting.
- He played the same part - Antoine Doinel- in five films: as young boy in Los 400 golpes (1959), as an adolescent in the "Antoine et Colette" segment of the anthology L'amour à vingt ans (1962) and, together with the actress Claude Jade as his girlfriend, and later wife, Christine in Besos robados (1968), Domicilio conyugal (1970) and L'amour en fuite (1979).
- His performance as Antoine Doinel in Los 400 golpes (1959) ("The 400 Blows") is ranked #98 on Premiere Magazine's 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time.
- In 1968, during the military dictatorship government in Brazil, as seen in the documentary Barra 68 - Sem Perder a Ternura (2001), Jean-Pierre Léaud, who was also a political militant, made a speech for hundreds of students at Brasília University, which is in Brazil's capital.
- In March 1966, Léaud won the Silver Bear for Best Actor at the 16th Berlin International Film Festival for his role in Jean-Luc Godard's Masculin, féminin.
- What I find great in his films, is the feeling of freedom, of truth, that feeling you get along with the camera. The precise intuition he has of the truth of tiny details. Los 400 golpes (1959), which I watch often, is full of details which give poetry to the movie.
