He was a fabulous singer and brilliant character actor. An absolutely sexy guy and a total gentleman. It's so sad to hear he has died at only 72. RIP 😒

He was riveting as Julien Baptiste.

Ahh, yes - such a shame. I thought he was splendid.

Totally agree - so good that you cannot imagine anyone else ever playing the role.

Yes, such a shame. 😟

Yes, in the original The Missing he unintentionally took the attention away from the star James Nesbitt!

fine actor and multi lingual, I haven’t seen him as Baptiste but have watched quite a number of French language films he’s in

ChestnutGrove · 01/11/2025 21:55

I liked him in The Missing and also the Wild Tales from the Village programme he narrated.

SabreIsMyFave · 01/11/2025 21:56

Awww, what a shame. 😢 Not that old either. (72.) I loved him in The Missing. He had his own show too (about the character Baptiste.)

R.I.P. ❤

So true!

WiddlinDiddlin · 01/11/2025 22:38

Yup, sad times, he was fantastic in The Missing, totally agree he took centre stage there!! What a shame, thats no age at all these days!

I was on the long-running The Missing MN threads, and the character Baptiste as played by Tchecky Karyo definitely was felt to have lifted the series from good to excellent.

In fact he inhabited Baptiste, body and soul. A rare gift and skill.

PrincessFiorimonde · 01/11/2025 22:49

Sorry to hear this. I thought he was great as Baptiste.

longtompot · 01/11/2025 23:04

Such sad news. I only knew him from The Missing and then Baptiste, but I loved his character.

CharlesPetrescu · 01/11/2025 23:16

I remember him from And The Band Played On, playing a softly spoken French doctor in a film about the discovery of the AIDS virus. RIP
