The Conservatory Band
Born Pierre Rayer in 1931, he was a student at the National Conservatory of Dramatic Art with, around 1954, a whole extraordinary conjunction of cinema stars, the Bande du Conservatoire (Belmondo, Girardot, Marielle, Fabian, Bedos, Rochefort, Rich , Noiret…).
Then, we will find him with the best directors of the time (Verneuil, Lelouch, Delvaux, Losey,…). But also in the theater with Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean-Pierre Marielle, two friends. We even find it in dubbing: the voice of Sam Lowry, in Brazilit’s his.
