Along the way, Richard's unique brand of physical comedy and endearing persona have made him a beloved figure in French popular culture. But who is the real Pierre Richard? Is he the alter ego of actor François Perrin, whom he portrayed in his first film and continued to embody in numerous other roles? Or is he something more?
