One of the most memorable characters of the movie "Taxi" — Commissioner Gibert — was portrayed by French actor Bernard Farcy. Below, we take a look at the life and career path of the famous actor.

His family consisted of military personnel and was far from the world of theater and cinema. Farcy became interested in art from childhood. He began studying at the National Conservatory of Music and Dance, but later left it. Bernard graduated from a theater school in Reims and headed to Paris. Farcy took his first steps as an actor at the Montparnasse Theater. There, he played supporting roles. At the same time, he also tried to get roles in movies by participating in castings and screen tests. Many film studios rejected Farcy. This was because his appearance did not match the requirements of French cinema at that time. Farcy's creative rise dates back to the 80s. At that time, he began to star in many films shot by French directors. In 1983, Bernard was offered to star in a film called "The Moon in the Gutter". Although the young actor did not stand out among the characters of the picture, Farcy managed to work on the same set with the stars of French cinema.

In the 2000s, Bernard's filmography was enriched with bright projects. As an actor, he tried himself in both dramatic and comedic roles. In 2001, the thriller "Brotherhood of the Wolf" was released. The film invites the viewer to plunge into the world of brutal murders taking place in the south of France in the 18th century. Along with Bernard, famous actors such as Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci also starred in this film. Together with Monica Bellucci, the actor also worked in the film "Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra".

The first part of the film was released in 1998, in which Farcy played the role of Commissioner Gibert. The picture about the funny adventures of Daniel, a former pizzeria courier, and Émilien, an unlucky policeman, gained popularity not only in France but all over the world.

There is no information about Bernard Farcy's personal life. The actor does not provide any information to the public about either his wife or his children. Journalists have asked Bernard about his personal life several times, but in his interviews, the actor preferred to talk only about theater and cinema. Farcy does not use social networks, so there is no information about what kind of life he is leading now.

Fans of the actor will certainly be happy to hear that he starred in a movie about the life of an elderly couple in 2023.
