Early years

Born in Figeac, France, to Maurice and Louise Boyer - was just a shy small-town boy who discovered the movies and theater at the age of eleven.

Quotes

• "Mostly I've played other roles, but even when I've played other parts people see me differently. In America, when you have an accent, in the mind of the people they associate you with kissing hands and being gallant. I think that has harmed me, just as it has harmed me to be followed and plagued by a line I never said."

• "That love at first sight should happen to me was Life's most delicious revenge on a self-opinionated fool."
