About Michel Boujenah
Michel Boujenah (born 3 November 1952) is a French-Tunisian Jewish actor, comedian, film director, and screenwriter. He was born in Tunis, Tunisia. He is the brother of Paul Boujenah, a film director, and the uncle of actors Matthieu Boujenah and Lucie Boujenah.
Boujenah has appeared in over thirty films as well as a variety of television productions. He has also directed the films Father and Sons (2003), Trois amis (2007), and Heartstrings (2016), and written screenplays for a number of others. In 2017, his invitation to appear at a Tunisian cultural festival was protested by activists involved in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel; while Boujenah is not Israeli, he has spoken positively about Israel, and the Tunisian Association for the Support of Minorities defended him and accused boycott promoters of antisemitism.
In 1985, Boujenah won the Cesar Award for Best Supporting Actor for Three Men and a Cradle. He was nominated for the Cesar Award for Best Actor for Le Nombril du Monde in 1994, and for Best Debut for Father and Sons in 2004. He has received numerous honours, including being named Officer of Arts and Letters and Commander of the National Order of Merit, as well as Officer of the Order of Cultural Merit of Monaco in 2004.
