Robert Le Vigan (7 January 1900 – 12 October 1972) was a French actor. Born Robert-Charles-Alexandre Coquillaud in Paris, he appeared in more than 60 films between 1931 and 1943 almost exclusively in small or supporting roles. He was, according to film academic Ginette Vincendeau, a "brilliant, extravagant actor" who "specialised in louche, menacing or diabolical characters".〔Ginette Vincendeau (ed) ''Encyclopedia of European Cinema'', London: Casell/BFI, 1995, p.262〕 A collaborator with the Nazis during the occupation, who openly expressed fascist attitudes,〔Rémi Fournier Lanzoni ''French Cinema: From Its Beginnings to the Present'', New York and London: Continuum, 2002, p.139. According to Fournier Lanzoni, Le Vigan found exile in Argentina.〕 he vanished while playing Jéricho in ''Children of Paradise'' (''Les Enfants du Paradis''), a film deliberately released in May 1945 shortly after the liberation of Europe; Le Vigan was replaced by Pierre Renoir. He was sentenced to forced labour for ten years in 1946. Released on parole after three years working in a camp, Le Vigan absconded to Spain, and then Argentina, dying there October 12, 1972, in the city of Tandil.〔 He died in poverty. ==Selected filmography== * ''The Tunnel'' (1933) * ''Madame Bovary'' (1934) * ''Golgotha'' (1935) playing Christ; known as ''Behold the Man'' in English * ''The Lower Depths'' (1936) * ''The Citadel of Silence'' (1937) * ''Harvest'' (''Regain'') (1937) * ''Le Quai des brumes'' (1938) * ''Tempête sur l'Asie'' (1938) * ''Le Dernier Tournant'' (1939) * ''Louise'' (1939) * ''The Fatted Calf'' (1939) * ''Who Killed Santa Claus?''
