Career
Roger Hanin was born in 1925 in Algiers, Algeria[2][3] as Roger Lévy to Jewish parents.[4] His brother-in-law was François Mitterrand (the former President of France), whose wife, Danielle, was the sister of Hanin's wife, Christine Gouze-Rénal.
With Claude Chabrol, Hanin co-wrote the scripts for a pair of spy films in the mid-1960s. Chabrol directed Code Name: Tiger (1964) and Our Agent Tiger (1965), both featuring Hanin in the starring role of secret agent Le Tigre.
From the late 1970s, Hanin enjoyed newfound popularity in France thanks to his roles in Le Coup de Sirocco, a dramedy about the pieds-noirs exodus in Metropolitan France and Le Grand pardon, a gangster film about the French Jewish pied-noir mafia. Both films were directed by Alexandre Arcady. From 1989 to 2007, he played the title character in the TV series Navarro.
