Biography
Richard Anconina was born in Paris to a working-class family. His parents were Moroccan Jews of Spanish descent. He worked several odd jobs, including delivery man and hospital orderly, before turning to acting.[2]
Anconina had his breakthrough role in 1983 with the film So Long, Stooge (Tchao Pantin), directed by Claude Berri, where he co-starred with Coluche.[3] For his performance as a petty, doomed drug dealer, Anconina received the César Award for Best Supporting Actor and the César Award for Best Male Revelation.[4]
In the course of the 1980s, Anconina appeared in several other successful films. He notably co-starred with Christopher Lambert and Catherine Deneuve in Love Songs (1984), with Gérard Depardieu and Sophie Marceau in Police (1985) and with Jean-Paul Belmondo in Itinerary of a Spoiled Child (1988). During the 1990s, several of his films were box-office failures[5] but he achieved success again in 1997 by starring in the comedy Would I Lie to You?. He reprised his role in two sequels to that film, released in 2001 and 2012.[6]
