Laurent Terzieff was born on June 27, 1935 in Toulouse, (France)
Son of a plastician and a Russian sculptor who emigrated in France during First World War, the young Laurent Terzieff, nine years old in 1944, was marked by the spectacle of the bombardments. Teenager set on philosophy and poetry, he assists, fascinated, to a representation of the "La Sonate des spectres" by Strindberg and directed by Roger Blin, and then decides to become actor. He makes his beginnings on stage in 1953 with the Theatre of Babylon of Jean-Marie Serreau in "Tous contre tous" of Adamov, author-fetish of an actor who will post, throughout his career, a predilection for the contemporary playwrights (Milosz, Schisgal).
Laurent Terzieff has a score of parts to his credit when Marcel Carné the reference mark in a televised fiction, "L'Affaire Weidmann", and proposes to him one of the principal roles of "Tricheurs", a portrait the Existentialist youth. This first appearance on screen in 1958 brings to the actor a strong notoriety, the public identifying itself with its character of a Bohemian and cynical student. He will later confess to have been near to the generation which had preceded him then plays in late works of scenario writers called "French quality", like Claude Autant-Lara (three films, of which "Tu ne tueras point", portrait of a conscientious objector in 1961) and Clouzot with "La Prisonnière", in which he interprets an artist manipulator who is not without pointing out the director himself.
Partner of Brigitte Bardot in "A coeur joie", this dashing young man with a sombre look camps a hooligan in "Les Garcons" of Bolognini (1959), a film written by Pasolini which will entrust to him later the role of the Centaur in "Médée". Solicited by the best Italian directors, Terzieff incarnates in 1961 a revolutionary in "Vanina Vanini" of Rossellini and appears in 1976 in the "Desert of the Tartars" of Zurlini. In France, Buñuel takes him along on the road of Compostelle in its iconoclast "Milky Way" in 1969. Terzieff will come across other poets: Garrel (four films of which the Revealing one, turned in full May 68) and Godard (Detective, 1985). But from the Eighties, he is rarer on the screens, being devoted primarily to the theatre, within its company, founded in 1961. Let us announce nevertheless his roles as a Trotskist in "Rouge Baiser" and as an Anarchist in "Germinal" (1993). At 70 years, the actor with the émaciated face did not lose anything of his magnetism, as his ghostly appearance in "Mon petit doigt m'a dit" of Pascal Thomas in 2005 proves.
