Henri Czarniak

Born 1937-09-03 · Mulhouse, Haut-Rhin, France

Henri Czarniak is a French actor of Polish origin, born on September 1937 in Mulhouse and died on March 1986 in Paris. His first name is sometimes spelled Henry in credits. Left too early to be truly known to the general public despite important filmography and recognition in the world of cinema, even across the Atlantic with Woody Allen, he would have been approached to take on roles "like Lino Ventura", his looks of gangster and big mouth helping him there. He died like in a movie: around a poker table on a Sunday afternoon...
