Denis Ménochet (born 18 September 1976) is a French actor. Ménochet is known to international audiences for his role as a French dairy farmer interrogated by the Nazis for harboring Perrier LaPadite in the 2009 Quentin Tarantino film Inglourious Basterds.

Career

Elizabeth Weitzman, a film critic for New York Daily News, praised Ménochet's work opposite Christoph Waltz in the opening scene of Inglourious Basterds. Weitzman wrote in August 2009, "The terrific opening, for example, does feature a hailstorm of bullets. What you'll remember best, though, is the haunted silence of actor Denis Ménochet, playing a French farmer accused of harboring Jews."
