Remembering Ronny Coutteure (Remy) 1951-2000
Ronny Coutteure was born on July 2, 1951 in Werwik, in Belgium. The year 2001 was his 30th year in the career of an actor, author, director and realizer, a career which began as clown. Ronny Coutteure worked for the cinema, the radio, television, the opera and the theatre. He is the author, the director and the interpreter of the Carnaval full-length film.
He is the author and interpretor of several one man shows: Belgians stories, Praise of beer, the entry of Christ with Fretin, and regularly played the Farm of the Swallows.
He was a celebrity in his home country and in France and is most famous internationally for his supporting role of Remy in the The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. In France, he presented different TV-programmes and was one of the symbols of the culture of the fronteer region with Belgium.
According to his imdb.com listing, Ronny committed suicide on June 21st of 2000 in Fretin, France. That's all I can find about it anywhere. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything more specific about the sad end to this wonderfully jolly actor's life? He's greatly missed. Why did he do this?
Has anyone seen any of his other work? It'd be great to hear about it here.
