Passionate about acting, Julien Guiomar has left a lasting imprint on the theater (since 1952), on television (since 1958) and on the big screen (since 1966) in a career spanning five decades. And yet, Guiomar first saw himself as a dentist, ... like Daddy! But he finally proved the saying 'Like father like song' wrong. Too bad for dentistry but so much the better for entertainment which otherwise would have had to do without his singular talent. And, to tell the truth, Julien Guiomar did not coddle himself. He indeed appeared in over thirty plays with Jean Vilar's famed Théâtre National Populaire (TNP); he was in more than forty TV films, in which his incredible presence allowed him to embody such figures as Alexandre Borgia or Diafoirus in Molière's Le malade imaginaire (1971). His film parts are even more numerous and include authority figures (colonels, police commissioners, prelates and even God Himself in Arthur Joffé's curious comedy Let There Be Light (1998). As of his first two appearances, in Philippe de Broca's King of Hearts (1966), as a lunatic who takes himself for a bishop and in Louis Malle's The Thief of Paris (1967) as a phony priest, Julien Guiomar has imposed an image of authority tinged with eccentricity. Always colorful in his expression, he can also exert sheer spitefulness (the colonel in Costa-Gavras Z (1969)) or warm humanity (the surgeon of Serge Korber's Je vous ferai aimer la vie (1979)). He may have been in too many campy comedies but he saves them from total crassness by his mere inspired presence. Julien Guiomar retired in 2004 after a final TV Film.- Gerald Campion was born on 23 April 1921 in Bloomsbury, London, England, UK.

His starting point was always the people - when he arranged he arranged parts for a specific person. His own songs were usually about people - Bakwetha, Maxine, Andromeda, Mandisa. Even when the name did not reflect it his songs were about people - Mayibuye is a song for Nelson Mandela, Dakar celebrates the ground-breaking meeting of people from the liberation movement with people from South Africa. His music rhythmically and harmonically was rooted in the music of the amaXhosa people among whom he grew up, and the sounds of the Xhosa students singing, in their own inimitable way, the music of the Scottish Church. But his music was not in any way an exercise in nostalgia - he was passionately concerned about issues of the day, environmental degradation, the politics of exploitation, racism, the nuclear threat. All of these were part of his experience and showed in various ways in his music which was sophisticated without being esoteric. People could and did dance to his music. Wherever he played he spread joy and fun. Because he believed in people and wanted his music to be for the people.
