Brontis Jodorowsky

Brontis Jodorowsky (born 27 October 1962) is a Mexican-French actor and theatre director. Born to the Chilean-French writer, director and actor Alejandro Jodorowsky and French actress Bernadette Landru, he had his first film experience in his father's 1970 film El Topo. When he was 12 years old, his father cast him in a planned film adaptation of Dune by Frank Herbert. Training for this role was intense, having been taught by French combat coach Jean-Pierre Vignau in various martial arts, alongside knife and sword combat. His acting training was received in Parisian theatres and at the Conservatoire du XIVe. In 2011, he attended a three-month workshop at the New York Film Academy and in 2013 graduated from the Studio Theatre D'Asnières in France. Outside of film, Jodorowsky also has a notable career in theatre, having directed and performed in numerous plays, most of them in Paris.
