Biography

Bertrand-Xavier Corbi is a native of Paris, France, born on October 16, 1979.The love of movies had been interrupting his schooling since childhood as he would often skip class to catch the latest theatrical releases. Later on, while studying international trade at university in Paris, he realized he just had to pursue a career in cinema rather than business - as passion that burns to this day. His career in the industry began in his home country, working in international film festivals in which his fluency in English, Spanish and German proved a most valuable asset as he could liaise with dignitaries from other countries. Soon enough he began working for production companies, a behind-the-scenes education on filmmaking that helped him enormously as he transitioned to a career to being in front of the camera as an actor.

After moving to Los Angeles in the late 2000s, Bertrand-Xavier quickly made his on screen debut, appearing in numerous short films, web series, commercials and network TV shows - often in lead roles. However, 2016 proved to be a turning point when he was cast by the legendary Francis Ford Coppola to portray Alexander Graham Bell in the live cinema experimental project Distant Vision (2015). That same year he was cast opposite Luke Hemsworth, Trace Adkins, Kris Kristofferson and Bruce Dern, co-starring in the Western Wild Bill (2017) directed by Timothy Woodward Jr..

Standing a towering 6'6" tall, some 230 pounds, sporting a fiery red beard, this high school rugby player has had no trouble in parlaying his imposing physical attributes onto the screen playing a biker, inmate, lumberjack, Viking warrior and even a comical witch hunter's henchman in the popular Disney children's show Camp Kikiwaka (2015).

In 2017, the 5150 Action production team, helmed by Mike Gunther, Andrew Emilio DeCesare, and Michael Day, recognized his physical presence and undeniable charisma by casting him as the wisecracking French special forces explosives expert, Jacques, in The Rogue Warfare : L'Art de la guerre (2019) trilogy. Set to be released in 2019, Bertrand-Xavier stars alongside an international ensemble composed of Will Yun Lee, Rory Markham, Jermaine Love, Katie Keene, Fernando Chien, Stephen Lang, Chris Mulkey and Essam Ferris.
