Philippe Clay (1955)
Philippe Clay (7 March 1927 – 13 December 2007), born Philippe Mathevet, was a French mime artist, singer and actor.

One of his famous roles is in the Jean Renoir film, French Cancan, where he played Casimir le Serpentin[1] (a character inspired by Valentin le désossé). His largest role in an American film was in Shanks, making particular use of his mime background co-starring with the master mime Marcel Marceau (as Marceau's brother-in-law who spends much of the film re-animated from the dead as a pantomime figure, moving like a marionette).
Death
Philippe Clay died of a heart attack on December 13, 2007. He was survived by his wife, actress María Riquelme, and their son.[2]
