French actor Christian Bujeau, known in the cinema for the role of the dentist in "The Visitors" and the fencing master in "Kaamelott", died on Monday, June 15 at the age of 81.

Famous among the general public for having played Valérie Lemercier's hilarious dentist husband in The Visitors and the master-at-arms with impeccable hygiene and flowery language who trained King Arthur in the series Kaamelott, the French actor Christian Bujeau died on Monday, June 15 at the age of 81.

A complete player

Born in Charron in 1944, Christian Bujeau learned the acting trade by training at the Conservatoire national supérieur d’art dramatique. A complete actor and eclectic artist, he spent his long career between theatre, television and cinema, also officiating as a stuntman, theatre director and drama teacher at the Jean Périmony school.

In the cinema, it was when he landed one of the main roles in Jean-Marie Poiré’s Visitors, in 1993, that he became known to the general public, playing the dentist Jean-Pierre Goulard, husband of Valérie Lemercier and a catastrophic witness to the escapades of Godefroy and Jacquouille (a role that Didier Bourdon and Fabrice Lucchini had almost played).

On the big screen, he has also been seen in films such as The Truth If I Lie! 2, Alibi.com and The Return of the Hero.

The Weapons Master of Kaamelott

On the television side, even if he has participated in many famous series (such as Joséphine, ange gardien, Caméra Café, or Hero Corp), he is known in particular for his role as the fencing master, Arthur's ruthless and hilarious trainer in the series Kaamelott, which offered him many mythical lines.
