Laurent Papot is a French actor born in 1978. He trained between 1996 and 1998 at Cours Florent.

These shows created in Switzerland at Vidy Lausanne are then performed in Paris at the famous Odeon theater and then on tour in France and abroad. This collaboration continues at the national drama center of Orleans, which Séverine Chavrier took over in 2017. An adaptation of W.Faulkner's novel "Absalon, Absalon!" will soon be created.Spotted in "Wild Palms" and "We are sated ..."
