Bruno Solo: biography, news, photos and videos

After three seasons of loyal service on Canal + as a host of music programs (Télé Zèbre, Top 50 and Le plein de super), Bruno Solo began his acting career in 1995. He played opposite Jean Rochefort and Florent Pagny in a laundromat in Tom est tout seul, the second feature film by his future friend Fabien Onteniente. The director would also direct the actor again in La (G)rève party in 1998, then in Jet Set in 2000. But it was in 1997, with La vérité si je mens! and its sequel released in 2001, that Solo would definitively establish himself in the landscape of French comedy. After visiting the American West with Emma de Caunes and Samuel Le Bihan in Restons groupés (1999), by Jean-Paul Salomé, and having become addicted to his shrink Patrick Chesnais in L'Homme de sa vie (1999), Bruno Solo triumphed on the small screen alongside his sidekick Yvan Le Bolloc'h with their sitcom Camera Café in 2001, of which they are actors, screenwriters and directors. The audiences of their micro-series will push them to adapt it to the cinema in two films: Espace détente (2005) then Le Séminaire (2009), which however do not meet with the success of the short program. Since then, Solo plays on all the boards: comedy with romantic tendencies (Rien que du bonheur, 2003), on the road (Livraison à domicile, 2003), in the mountains (Pur week-end in 2007) and historical drama during the Algerian war in Mon colonel in 2006. In 2010, he ventured to Guyana with Clovis Cornillac and Audrey Dana in 600 kilos d'or pur.TF
