Pierre Cassignard (19 December 1965 – 20 December 2021) was a French stage and screen actor.[1]

Early life

Pierre Cassignard was born in Sainte-Foy-la-Grande in Grionde, France, on 19 December 1965. In the early 1980s, he moved to Paris to study theater, but wound up working in a production a few days later. He landed his first role in the play House & Garden in 1987. Television and Film followed quickly when he was cast in the TV series Haute Tension in 1988.

Cassignard was well received. In 1996, he won the coveted Moliere for Best Actor in the Carlo Goldoni play The Venetian Twins. He was also nominated as Best Newcomer for the same role. A second Best Actor nomination came in 2005, again for a Carlo Goldoni play, the Mistress of the Inn.
