This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

'''Bruno Jean Marie Cremer''' (6 October 1929 – 7 August 2010) was a Belgian born French [[actor]] best known for portraying [[Jules Maigret]] on French television, from 1991 to 2005.

== Origins ==
Bruno Cremer was born in [[Saint-Mandé]], [[Val-de-Marne]], in the eastern suburbs of [[Paris]], France. His mother, Jeanne Rullaert, a musician, was of Belgian Flemish origin and his father, Georges, was a businessman from [[Lille]] who, though born French, had taken out Belgian nationality after the French armed forces refused to accept him for service in the First World War. Bruno himself opted for French nationality when he reached the age of 18. His childhood was largely spent in Paris.

Bruno attended the [[Cours Hattemer]], a private school.<ref>((cite web |ref=((harvid|Quelques Anciens Celebres – Hattemar)) |url=http://www.hattemer.fr/fr/l-ecole/association-des-anciens-eleves/# |title=Quelques Anciens Celebres |publisher=Hattemer |access-date=2015-06-30 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150618133955/http://www.hattemer.fr/fr/l-ecole/association-des-anciens-eleves/ |archive-date=2015-06-18 ))</ref> Having completed his secondary studies, he followed an interest in acting which had interested him since the age of 12 and trained in acting from 1952 at France's highly selective ''[[Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique]]''  (English:  ''French National Academy of Dramatic Arts'').

== Career ==
His career began with ten years spent acting in live theatre, playing roles drawn from works of Shakespeare, [[Oscar Wilde]] and [[Jean Anouilh]]. Aged already 30, he created the role of [[Thomas Becket]] in the 1959 world premiere of Anouilh's ''[[Becket]]'', and held [[Jean Anouilh|Anouilh]] in veneration all his life. Later Cremer played Max in a French production of ''[[Bent (play)|Bent]]'' by [[Martin Sherman]] in 1981. He regarded his basic profession as that of a stage actor, though he gravitated firmly to films.

It was in 1957 that Cremer had his first credited part in a film, '' Quand la femme s'en mêle'' (''When a woman meddles''), which starred [[Alain Delon]].  However, it was in 1965 that Cremer's career really began to prosper, with the film ''La 317e section'', (''[[The 317th Platoon]]''), directed by Pierre Schoendoerffer and set in Indochina during the French colonial wars. From then onwards, Cremer became a popular actor and appeared in over 110 productions for cinema and television.

While Cremer tried to avoid labels and typecasting, he tended to be offered tough-guy roles, often military men.  Examples from various points in his career include  ''Section spéciale'' (1975), ''La légion saute sur Kolwezi'' (1980)  and  ''Là-haut, un roi au-dessus des nuages'' (2004).

''Special Section'' (French original title: ''Section spéciale''), released in 1975, is about a kangaroo court set up in collaborationist Vichy France to ensure judicial convictions of innocent people so as to mollify the Nazis. A   [[French (language)|French language]] film directed by the [[Greeks|Greek]]-French film director [[Costa-Gavras]], it features Cremer as [[Lucien Sampaix]], a Communist journalist.

The 1980 film ''La légion saute sur Kolwezi''  (English ''Operation Leopard''), directed by [[Raoul Coutard]], is a [[documentary]]-style portrayal of a real-life operation headed by the [[French Foreign Legion]]  in the [[Democratic Republic of the Congo]] in 1978 to rescue foreign hostages. Cremer plays a military commander.
[[Pierre Schoendoerffer]]’s 2004 film ''Là-haut, un roi au-dessus des nuages'' (''Above the Clouds''), based on his own novel, ''[[Là-haut]]''. Cremer played the Colonel.

Some 30 other film parts of Cremer included releases by both French and foreign directors. In 1967, for example, came the film ''[[The Stranger (1967 film)|The Stranger]]'' (Italian: ''Lo straniero''), directed by Italian director [[Luchino Visconti]], based on the novel ''[[The Stranger (Camus novel)|L'Étranger]]'' by [[Albert Camus]], and starring [[Marcello Mastroianni]].
The 1976 release ''The Good and the Bad'' (French ''Le Bon et les Méchants'') was directed by [[Claude Lelouch]], with Cremer playing Inspector Bruno Deschamps.

The next year, 1977, came the thriller ''[[Sorcerer (film)|Sorcerer]]'' (French ''Le Convoi de la peur''), based on [[Georges Arnaud]]’s novel ''Le Salaire de la peur'' and directed by a [[William Friedkin]] fresh from the successes of ''The French Connection'' (1971) and ''The Exorcist'' (1973). In ''Sorcerer'', Cremer played the fraudulent Paris banker Victor Manzon, starring alongside [[Roy Scheider]]. In 1989 Cremer starred in [[Jean-Claude Brisseau]]’s film drama ''White Wedding'' (French ''Noce Blanche'') with [[Vanessa Paradis]].

From 1991, he became a universally known figure in France and elsewhere for his televised portrayal of [[George Simenon]]'s Commissaire Maigret, a role he played until 2005, totalling 54 episodes. During this period his cinema film commitments were few, though he did appear in 2000 with [[Charlotte Rampling]] in ''Under the Sand'', written and directed by [[François Ozon]], in 2001 in José Giovanni's ''Mon père, il m'a sauvé la vie'', and in 2004 in [[Pierre Schoendoerffer]]’s  ''Là-haut, un roi au-dessus des nuages'' (''Above the Clouds''). 

In 2005, in the final episode of the ''Maigret'' series, his voice was dubbed by that of [[Vincent Grass]] in ''Maigret et l'Étoile du Nord'': Cremer was suffering from the throat cancer that made him decide to end his career.

== Later years ==

Cremer was made an officer of the [[Légion d’honneur]] in 2008.

A lifelong smoker of ''[[Punch (cigar)|Punch]]'' brand [[cigar]]s, he died of a cancer of the tongue and the pharynx from which he had suffered for several years,<ref>((cite web|title=Maigret, D8 : Bruno Cremer, que deviennent ses enfants?|url=https://www.telestar.fr/serie-tv/maigret-d8-bruno-cremer-que-deviennent-ses-enfants-221099|author=Marine Madelmond|agency=TéléStar|date=23 July 2016))</ref><ref>((cite web|title=Décès du comédien français Bruno Cremer|url=http://www.rfi.fr/france/20100808-deces-comedien-francais-bruno-cremer|agency=[[Radio France internationale|RFI]]|date=9 August 2010|access-date=9 August 2010)).</ref><ref>'Maigret' star Bruno Cremer dies at 80: [https://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5ixp-sEeqgmN5UWYnVrMIX1BZaCzw On Google News - AFP Text, August 8, 2010]</ref>  in a Paris hospital on Saturday, 7 August 2010, aged 80. His funeral service was held in Paris on 13 August 2010 at the church of Saint Thomas of Aquinas, in the [[7th arrondissement of Paris|VIIth arrondissement]]. He is buried in the [[Montparnasse Cemetery]], Paris.

His part autobiography appeared in 2000 under the title, ''Un certain jeune homme'' (''A certain young man''). In it he covered not the whole of his life, but only his early career, until the death of his father.

Married twice, Cremer had a son, Stéphane, by his first wife, and two daughters, Constance and Marie-Clementine, by his second wife, Chantal, whom he married in 1984.
