Léo Campion (born Léon Louis Octave Campion; 24 March 1905 in Paris – 6 March 1992 in Paris) was a French actor and active freemason.[1][2][3][4]

Biography

[edit]

Campion's father was Belgian and his mother French (from Montmartre, Belgian at birth).

In 1923, Campion was expelled from France following a campaign waged against him by Action Française. As he held Belgian nationality, he settled in Brussels, where he met the anarchist bookseller and freemason Marcel Dieu, alias Hem Day. It was a meeting that marked his life.

He became secretary of the Brussels Libre Pensée and secretary of the Belgian section of the War Resisters' International.[5]
