Benoît Poelvoorde (born September 22, 1964, in Namur, Belgium) is a Belgian actor.

His first movie C'est arrivé près de chez vous (Man Bites Dog internationally) was a low-budget school graduation project (1992), which went on to become a critically acclaimed cult movie.

He subsequently starred in several movies which made him famous in France and Belgium, and was selected to be member of the Cannes Film Festival Jury in 2004, on request of Quentin Tarantino, a big fan of his first movie.

In 2005 he came in 7th place in the Walloon version of De Grootste Belg (the Greatest Belgian). In the Flemish version he came in nr. 300 outside the official list of nominations.
