Title: Sargeant Bonnet
Post by: Sable899 on February 25, 2008, 08:32:31 PM
The irrepressible Sargeant "Chief" Bonnet in Challenge was played by France's popular comedy charactor actor Thierry Hancisse.  Born in 1962, a graduate of the L'Academie Theatrale de Liege and an Officier dan L'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.  He has an impressive filmography in the French cinema, including critically-acclaimed foreign language films released internationally and competitively on the film festival circuit.  He is a perennial favorite of the French Theater and is consistently in demand for film, television, theater and voice work.  One of the few Frenchmen ever to survive a Sharpe episode, he provided some comic relief to Challenge and is remembered fondly, perhaps even leaving the door open for a return in Peril.

His latest work is the French film "Coupable", aka "Guilty" which is making the rounds of the 2008 Film Festival circuit.

Liked him too - was so funny, when he explained that he learned english in about 15 days and his son helped him :-)
Thanks for that info!
I really hope such great guys will be in Peril again (and my favourite: VIP the extra - lol)
