Biography

Martin Luis LaSalle Supervielle (19 January 1935 – 17 October 2018) was a French-Uruguayan actor. LaSalle first appeared in the Robert Bresson film Pickpocket (1959). Previously unknown, and in line with the director's mature practice, not then an actor, he was cast in the lead role. Following his debut, he appeared in more than 70 films and television shows.
