Jérôme Anger

A veteran of French television, Jérôme Anger made his screen debut as a minor player in 1983's "Life Is a Bed of Roses," an ambitious feature drama by revered director Alain Resnais. Appearing in various movies and on TV in subsequent years, Anger graduated to more prominent roles by the late '80s, notably with a supporting part in the crime tale "Jaune revolver" and a lead turn in "La méridienne" with Kristin Scott Thomas. Following his role in Lina Wertmüller's Italian comedy "Sabato, domenica e lunedì," with Sophia Loren, Anger started working solely on the small screen, appearing in an extended guest stint on the popular and long-running Gallic crime series "Julie Lescaut," featuring Véronique Genest as the title character. In 1995, Anger finally headlined a television show, starring as a small-town physician in the medical series "Docteur Sylvestre," which ran for seven seasons. Outside of this role, he appeared in various TV movies, including the Italian historical war drama "Perlasca: The Courage of a Just Man," and the 2005 miniseries "Les rois maudits," a period piece focusing on treacherous French royalty. Returning to a regular series, Anger starred in the short-lived crime show "Enquêtes réservées" before moving on to more TV work.
