At Cours Florent (one of the most famous acting schools in France), he was taught by
Isabelle Nanty. There, in 1989, he met five fellows:
Maurice Barthélémy,
Pierre-François Martin-Laval, aka "Pef",
Elise Larnicol,
Marina Foïs and
Pascal Vincent. The six of them founded "The
royal imperial green rabbit company", which become soon "Les Robins des Bois". This name is based upon the first "famous" play they did: "Robin des Bois d'à peu près Alexandre Dumas". One night,
Dominique Farrugia came to see their show, was thrilled and met them. Soon, they were on the cable TV "Comédie". Fame was here too.
