Brasseur, Pierre [ Pierre Espinasse] (1905–72), French actor, who was on the stage very young and by 1929 was playing leading roles at a number of theatres in Paris. He then went into films, but in 1949 returned to the theatre and thereafter divided his time between stage and screen, appearing in the first productions of Claudel's Partage de midi and Sartre's Le Diable et le bon Dieu (both 1951). A romantic and passionate actor, he also made a great impression as Edmund Kean in Sartre's recreation of the elder Dumas's play (1953). Among his later successes were Anouilh's Ornifle and Montherlant's Don Juan, the French version of Pinter's The Homecoming, Shaw's Don Juan in Hell (from Man and Superman), and Shaw himself in Jerome Kilty's Dear Liar.
