Pierre Magnier

Pierre Frédéric Magnier (February 22, 1869 - October 15, 1959) was a French actor who began on the stage in the 1890s and became a prominent silent film actor in France. He was the second actor to portray Cyrano de Bergerac in any film in 1925. He continued acting until the 1950s. He is most remembered for the role of the General in Jean Renoir's La règle du jeu, where he has one of the films more poignant quotes (and the film's final line) when he praises Marcel Dalio's character as one of "a vanishing breed."

Selected filmography
gollark: It is not a "more equal say", it is directly giving more power to rural people.
gollark: I don't care about this particular instance. You said "This is why I think rural should have a more equal say because rural is most of the state, not just the cities.".
gollark: As I said, I disagree with arbitrarily giving one group more power like that.
gollark: Sure, why not, those are nice numbers.
gollark: I do understand that it weights rural votes more highly. This is what I am complaining about.
