Biography
Edmond Tamiz (1923–1999) was a French actor and stage director, born in Paris and trained under Charles Dullin. He first gained attention after the war at La Rose Rouge, performing in shows that blended theatre and music‑hall in the heart of Saint‑Germain‑des‑Prés. At the same time, he appeared in several films during the 1950s and 1960s, often in memorable supporting roles. From the 1960s onward, he established himself as a director at the Théâtre Récamier, staging works such as Arlequin valet de deux maîtres and Jacques le fataliste. He played a key role in bringing Carlo Goldoni back to the forefront of French popular theatre. Tamiz then continued an active career in regional theatres, directing both classical and contemporary plays. He also worked for television in the 1950s–1970s, contributing to dramatic productions and literary adaptations.
