Early life

Patrick Bauchau was born in Brussels, Belgium on 6 December 1938, the son of Mary (née Kozyrev), a Russian-born school administrator and publisher, and Henry Bauchau, a school administrator, lawyer, publisher, writer, and psychoanalyst who served as an officer in the Belgian Underground during World War II.[1][2] He was raised in Belgium, Switzerland and England.

Bauchau began his career in French New Wave cinema, including acting in two films by Éric Rohmer, La Carrière de Suzanne (1963) and La Collectionneuse (1967). He also participated in the New German Cinema in films like Wim Wenders' Der Stand der Dinge (1982).

Bauchau is better known for his roles in American television. Bauchau has starred in many different TV shows and movies, including Choose Me, A View to a Kill as Scarpine, The Pretender, Kindred: The Embraced, The Rapture, Clear and Present Danger, The Cell, Panic Room, Boy Culture, Carnivàle, 2012, Extraordinary Measures and Get the Gringo. In 1987, he was considered for the part of Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation.[3][4] In 1989 he starred as the murderer in Columbo: Murder: A Self Portrait.

In 2007 Bauchau took the lead dramatic role in the biographical movie The Gray Man—a thriller which dramatised the crimes of the American sadomasochistic serial killer, rapist, and cannibal Albert Fish. In 2009, he appeared as a guest star on ABC's show Castle. For movies, he often performs the French dubbing of his characters himself, as he is a native French speaker.
