Michel Louis Edmond Galabru (October 27, 1922 - January 4, 2016) was a French stage and screen actor and theatre director.

He is one of the most prolific French actors of all time, competing for the record of most credits in his career as he appeared in about 300 works on film and television, from 1948 to his death in 2016, most of it in supporting or bit roles. He's always admitted that the majority were [[MoneyDearBoy "bread and butter jobs"]], but that didn't prevent him from being a nationally beloved performer.
