Actor Bruno Salomone, well known to viewers for his role as Denis Bouley in the family series “Fais pas ci, fait pas ça” on France 2, has died, his agent announced to AFP on Sunday, on behalf of his family.
Also known to the general public for having been the rival of Jean Dujardin in “Brice de Nice” (2005) with his role of Igor d’Hossegor, as well as the voice-over of the game “Burger Quiz” by Alain Chabat, Bruno Salomone began his career as a comedian, notably within the troupe of “Nous ç Nous” alongside the same Jean Dujardin.
“It is with immense sadness that we announce the disappearance of Bruno Salomone” at the age of 55, said his agent Laurent Grégoire. “He passed away this Sunday March 15 after fighting a long illness.”
“Don’t do this, don’t do that” left the air in 2017 after 9 seasons. She made a first return at the end of 2020 with a Christmas TV film, then a second in December 2024, for two new episodes.
“Star Seeds”
The comic spring of this successful series is the antagonism between a bobo family, the Bouleys (played by Isabelle Gélinas and Bruno Salomone), and a reactionary family, the Lepics (Valérie Bonneton and Guillaume de Tonquédec).
After spending part of his childhood in Marseille and then in the Paris suburbs, Bruno Salomone made himself known by participating in the show “Graines de Stars” on M6 in 1996.
He then became a member of “Nous ç Nous”, before going solo on stage.
A film, television and theater actor, he also practiced dubbing, notably being the voice of Jolly Jumper in James Huth’s “Lucky Luke” (2009), the title role of which was given to Jean Dujardin.
His last appearance on television was last year, in the series “A priori” on France 3. The channel has just announced that season 2 would resume at the end of March with the former swimmer Florent Manaudou as headliner, in place of Bruno Salomone.
