Actor Bruno Salomone, well known to viewers for his role as Denis Bouley in the family series Fais pas ci, fais pas ça on France 2, has died, his agent announced Sunday to AFP, on behalf of his family. He was 55 years old.

Also known to the general public for having been Jean Dujardin's rival in Brice de Nice (2005) with his role as Igor d'Hossegor, as well as the voice-over of Alain Chabat's show "Burger Quiz", Bruno Salomone began his career as a comedian, notably within the Nous ç Nous troupe alongside the same Jean Dujardin.

"It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Bruno Salomone," said his agent, Laurent Grégoire. He passed away on Sunday, March 15 after fighting a long illness. »

Don't Do This, Don't Do That left the air in 2017 after nine seasons. The series made a first comeback at the end of 2020 with a Christmas TV movie, then a second in December 2024, for two new episodes.

The comic driving force of this successful series is the antagonism between a bohemian family, the Bouleys (played by Isabelle Gélinas and Bruno Salomone), and a reactionary family, the Lepics (Valérie Bonneton and Guillaume de Tonquédec).

Known thanks to "Graines de Stars" on M6

After spending part of his childhood in Marseille and then in the suburbs of Paris, Bruno Salomone made a name for himself by participating, in 1996, in the show "Graines de Stars" on M6. He then became a member of the Nous ç Nous, before going solo on stage.

An actor in film, television and theatre, he had also worked as a voice actor, notably as the voice of Jolly Jumper in James Huth's Lucky Luke (2009), whose title role was given to Jean Dujardin.

His last appearance on television dates back to last year, in the series A priori on France 3. The channel has just announced that season 2 will resume at the end of March with former swimmer Florent Manadou as the headliner, in place of Bruno Salomone.
