Visitors is a cult comic saga that has crossed all generations and made many viewers laugh. If we know that most of the main actors, such as Jean Reno or Christian Clavier, have become iconic stars, certain actors who played secondary characters have also been able to have a busy career. This is the case of Didier Bénureau, who played the role of Doctor Bauvin. Today we tell you what has become of the actor, almost 30 years after the release of the films!
Although he is a secondary character in VisitorsDoctor Bauvin greatly participated in the comedy of the saga. He is the doctor that Hubert de Montmirail meets, and who is convinced that the latter suffers from amnesia. The few scenes which highlight Doctor Bauvin contain a lot of comedy and are imbued with humor. Whether during the intervention of the doctor and the CRS to control Hubert, or even during his discussions with Béatrice at the hospital, Doctor Bauvin never ceases to make these scenes totally humorous, with his cult and his acting cleanly executed.
After playing the role of Doctor Bauvin in the two films Visitorsand having had numerous supporting roles in cinema between the 90s and 2000s, the actor has seen his career diversify.

While his meeting with the actress Muriel Robin in the 80s had served as a springboard for the start of his theatrical career, notably with his participation in the play Give me your laundry, I’ll make a machinethe actor will stand out all the more in the entertainment industry, particularly with Finally Bénéureau in 1988.
After Visitors, the actor shines in the world of one-man shows. In 2001, Didier Bénureau released his first show For Moralesat the Théâtre de la Gaîté-Montparnasse. His show Boboreleased in 2006, was even able to receive the Black Humor Prize in 2007. The actor has also distinguished himself on television, notably in Household scenes in 2023, where he plays the character of Gilbert, a retired business boss.
This year 2024 was an opportunity for the actor to shine in his “Entire” show which mixes old and new sketches. A colorful performance, steeped in burlesque, which is also extended until the end of the year, at the Champs-Elysées studios in Paris. The end of the saga Visitors will therefore not have tainted the career of Didier Bénureau, who has distinguished himself in many fields.
