Biography for Hervé Villechaize
Hervé Villechaize was born in Paris on April 23, 1943. He stopped growing very early and his father (who was a surgeon) tried to find a cure by visiting several doctors and hospitals. But there was none, so Hervé had to live with his small height and also with undersized lungs. He studied at the Beaux-Arts in Paris and made an exhibition of his own paintings, which were well received. At 21, he left France for the USA where he continued to paint and to make photographs. He also started to participate in some movies and was quickly offered several roles for plays and then for cinema. His first big success was The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) where he was a killer associated to the villain Scaramanga (played byChristopher Lee). He inspired the TV-series "Fantasy Island" (1978) where he took the role of Tattoo, the faithful servant of Mr. Roarke (Ricardo Montalban). This series was a great success and thanks to it Villechaize became famous and rich, mostly because of his enigmatic and charming smile. Authors of the card. Creation date : 2003/07/01 by misou .
