Career

During the 1920s, Arnaud was part of the troupe de l'Atelier at the Théâtre-Montmartre in Paris (now Théâtre de l'Atelier), where he worked with Charles Dullin. Besides his work as a performer, Arnaud had a long career as an acting coach. Numerous French performers attended his classes, including Jean-Louis Barrault, Jean Vilar, Alain Cuny and Jean Marais. Arnaud later worked with Vilar at the Théâtre National Populaire where he also kept teaching acting. He played a role in starting Gérard Depardieu's career: Depardieu, who had accompanied a friend to Arnaud's class, was noticed by Arnaud who invited him to perform on stage. [2]
