The famous French television show first appeared on the screens in 1990 and to this day remains incredibly popular throughout the world. The characters who participated in absolutely all issues of all seasons of the Fort Boyard game are Passepartout and Elder Fura. About a small conductor is worth telling in more detail.
Important role
With local residents, the team of players encounters only periodically during all the adventures on the Fort Boyard show. Passepartout is an exception, because although he is not tall, he has an important and significant role: he shows the participants the way to the next test. Without Passepartout, getting lost in a fort is very easy. Also, this important little man stores the extracted keys. Its functions include control so that players do not block the camera. And, of course, he has not the most pleasant, but incredibly important for the rules of the game: if the participant does not have time to leave the cell after the time allotted for the assignment, Passepartout ruthlessly pushes the deadbolt, and the team member remains captive to the fort, while the rest will not free him. Often a short conductor jokes and encourages participants. He is also called the keeper of the secrets and traditions of the fort, along with Elder Fura, Pastan, the Council of Shadows and overseer Lyabul.
Out of the game
The old-timer of Fort is, in ordinary life, Andre Boucher. He hails from Issy-les-Moulineaux, where he was born on March 29, 1967. The role of Passepartout made him famous throughout the world and made him one of the most famous dwarfs among the actors. Bush devoted most of his life to Fort, so he has not so many other acting work, they just do not have enough time. The Frenchman played in several films for local television, in the play, and took part in several other television programs. And Andre made his debut back in 1987 in the video of the famous singer Milen Farmer for the song "Tristana". Three years later, the Association of persons of short stature invited him to the casting of the future show. So appeared in the television game "Fort Boyard" Passepartout, which later became its integral part. In 1994, he even helped another dwarf get into the Association, and later in the project. It was Anthony Lyabor, better known to the audience as Passy. Boucher is interested in music, and even with his cousin he recorded one album.
