Benoît Poelvoorde (born September 22, 1964, in Namur, Belgium) is a Belgian actor.
His first movie was the 1987 short student film Pas de C4 pour Daniel Daniel (which he co-directed and co-wrote). It was a stylized trailer for a mock-spy film. It was followed by C'est arrivé près de chez vous (Man Bites Dog internationally) originally a low-budget school graduation project (1992), which went on to become a critically acclaimed cult movie.
He subsequently starred in several movies which made him famous in France and Belgium, and was selected to be member of the Cannes Film Festival Jury in 2004, on request of Quentin Tarantino, a big fan of Man Bites Dog.
