Alain Delon news, related photos and videos, and reviews of Alain Delon performances. According to Wikipedia: Alain Delon is a French actor, one of the best known outside his native country. Delon's star rose quickly, and by the age of twenty-three he was garnering comparisons to French screen legends such as Gerard Philipe and Jean Marais, as well as American actor James Dean. He was even called the male Brigitte Bardot. Not wanting to fall back on his looks, Delon tried to take roles that presented him with more of a challenge. In particular he took parts playing a thief or gangster. One of the remarkable qualities about Delon's performances is that despite the immorality of many of the characters he plays, he manages to make them charming, and even likeable. Over the course of his career, Delon has worked with legendary directors, including Luchino Visconti, Jean-Luc Godard, Jean-Pierre Melville, Michelangelo Antonioni, and Louis Malle.
