Patrice Tepasso

Trained at the Théâtre de l’Acte in Toulouse directed by Michel Mathieu (Vers un Acteur Pluriel, 2010), I join the Celine Astrié’s Nanaqui Theater Company for the triptych In Your Room (2011) and then the creation Je suis homme, né…(…) (Théâtre Garonne, 2013). Acting and performance which question the actor’s position at the theater. Research Master Educational sciences and social worker. Active in an artistic and cultural association at this moment.

On the cinema side, I participate at the feature film Last Winter  (John Shank, 2011) as well as final-year student films for ENSAV (Camille Pernin, Teddy Boulangée and Gaël de Fournas). This career path keeps going in Paris with a training at Studio Pygmalion for one year and a supporting role in the movie La Belle saison (Catherine Corsini, 2015). Some extras with Danièle Thompson (Cézanne et moi, 2016), Pierre Salvadori (En Liberté, 2017) and Sébastien Betbeder (Debout sur la montagne, 2019). More recently, I play differents roles of the outsider characters for TV and streaming platforms : such as the successfull Le Bazar de la Charité (Alexandre Laurent, 2019) and Crime dans le Larzac (Marwen Abdallah, 2020).

On August 25th, 2023 the feature film Our Father, the Devil (Ellie Foumbi, 2021) will be released in both NYC and Los Angeles theaters. I play Quentin a comic character of the thriller. The film has already received the Audience Public Award at Tribeca in 2022, and has been nominated at Film Independent Spirit Awards 2023 (for best film). Right after shooting Maria (Jessica Palud, 2023) last June, I’ve won the Best Actor Award 2023 from the Maison du Film in France. I keep focused myself on the independant cinema.
