Ramzy Bedia

Ramzy Bedia, born Ramzy Habib El Haq Bedia on 10 March 1972 in Paris, France, is a prominent French actor, screenwriter, and film director of Algerian descent who has become a staple of modern French comedy. He launched his career in 1994 after a chance meeting with fellow comedian Éric Judor, forming the wildly popular duo Éric et Ramzy, whose irreverent humor quickly earned them a dedicated television audience on M6. Their chemistry translated to the small screen in the 1998 hit series H, where they shared the spotlight with Jamel Debbouze, solidifying their status as comedy icons. Bedia’s first feature‑film appearance arrived in 1999 with Djamel Bensalah’s Le Ciel, les Oiseaux et… ta mère! but it was his 2001 breakout role as a window‑cleaner in Charles Nemes’s La Tour Montparnasse Infernale—a film he co‑wrote with Judor—that propelled him into the national limelight. The success of this cult classic spawned a sequel and cemented Bedia’s reputation for physical comedy and sharp satire. Throughout the 2000s he expanded his repertoire, starring in Les Dalton (2004), the spy parody Double Zéro (2004), and the culturally resonant Once Upon a Time in the Oued (2005), while also venturing behind the camera as a writer and director. In the 2010s he continued to diversify, appearing in mainstream hits such as Neuilly sa mère! (2009), Le Concert (2009), and the action‑comedy La Tour 2 contrôle infernale (2016). More recent projects include a villainous turn as Zorglub in The Adventures of Spirou and Fantasio (2018), the gritty drama South Terminal (2019), and the critically acclaimed TV series Of Money and Blood (2023). With a career spanning over three decades, Bedia remains a versatile figure whose contributions have shaped the landscape of French popular cinema and television.
