Claude Pierre Edmond Giraud (French pronunciation: [klod pjɛʁ ɛdmɔ̃ ʒiʁo]; 5 February 1936 in Chamalières – 3 November 2020 in Saint-Priest-des-Champs) was a French actor.

Career

Claude Giraud studied with

Comédie Française in 1962 as a pensionnaire.[4] Besides his debut role as Valère in Molière's The Miser, he played Arsace in Corneille's Bérénice, and the narrator in the stage adaptation of André Gide's short story Le retour de l'enfant prodigue (The Return of the Prodigal Son). Disappointed that he was only cast in small roles, he left the Comédie Française after a few months to start his film career. He played the leading role as Capitaine Langlois in François Leterrier's movie adaptation of Jean Giono's novel A King Without Distraction in 1962.[5] He was Oedipus in the film adaptation of Jean Cocteau's The Infernal Machine
. He joined the
Theater World Award.[8][9]
He played the role of the soldier Georges in Roger Vadim's Circle of Love,[10] a film adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler's scandalous play La Ronde (play). Between 1964 and 1966, Claude Giraud played the part of Philippe de Plessis-Bellières beside Michèle Mercier in three Angélique films: Angélique, Marquise des Anges, Marvelous Angelique, and Angelique and the King. He returned to the
Comédie Française in 1972 and became the 460th sociétaire in 1976.[11] He left again in 1982 to join Jean-Laurent Cochet's newly created Théâtre Hébertot
.

Giraud gained fame in TV series as hero Morgan/Jacques de Saint-Hermine in the adventure series Les Compagnons de Jéhu by Michel Drach[12][13] adapted from the eponymous novel by Alexandre Dumas. Bernard Toublanc-Michel engaged him in 1967 for the role of d'Aulnay in Adolphe ou l'âge tendre. The TV series Les rois maudits, where he played the role of Sir Roger Mortimer, was another huge success. In 1973, he played the fictional Arab revolutionary leader Mohamed Larbi Slimane, who poses as Rabbi Zeiligman in The Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob with Louis de Funès. In the TV movie Mamie Rose (1976) he played Claude Jade's husband Régis, whose marriage is saved by an au-pair granny played by Gisèle Casadesus.

Other TV series include Mathias Sandorf (1979), in which he played corrupt banker Silas Toronthal, based on Jules Verne's eponymous novel.

Personal life and death

Giraud married Catherine Marquand (1943-2012),[14] a fellow acting student at the Conservatoire, in 1963.[15][16] They had a son, Louis (*1963),[17] and a daughter, Marianne (*1966), who is also an actress and married to French actor and director Jean Martinez.

Since 1987, he lived in Vernadel near Saint-Priest-des-Champs in Auvergne, where he owned a Connemara stud farm, Haras du Boissis.[18]

Claude Giraud died age 84 on 3 November 2020 in Saint-Priest-des-Champs and was buried there on 7 November 2020.[19]
