Les Charlots

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Les Charlots were a troupe of French comedy actors, who were moderately popular in the 1970s. In English, Les Charlots means the clowns rather than being a direct reference to Charlie Chaplin, who was generally called Charlot in France.

The troupe was composed of Gérard Rinaldi, Jean Sarrus, Gérard Filipelli, Luis Rego and Jean-Guy Fechner.

When the four boys became too old to play the clowns, and audiences became too bored and they troupe attempted solo careers. Gérard Rinaldi is now essentially a TV actor, while Jean Sarrus became a TV host. The other two disappeared from the public eye.
