From childhood, Michel Caron wanted to become an actor. He entered the René Simon class, then the
Conservatoire de Paris where he won three
first prizes: opera, comic opera and operetta. Caron's career began at the
Théâtre du Châtelet to perform Guy Florès during a revival of
The White Horse Inn (1960/1961). He was then at the top of the bill for two plays of
opéra-bouffe, performed in 1968,
La Périchole with
Jean Le Poulain and
Roger Carel and
Barbe Bleue with Jean Le Poulain and Arlette Didier. == Filmography ==
