The actor, who was born in Turkey in 1953, got a later start on his career … first nabbing acclaimed film roles in his early ’30s, including his part in crime thriller “La balance” which earned him a C\u00e9sar Award nomination for Most Promising Actor in 1982.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Over the next five decades, Karyo appeared in numerous popular French films — like “La Femme Nikita” and “The Bear” — as well as films beloved by American audiences.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

A few years later, Karyo played Major Jean Villeneuve in “The Patriot” starring Mel Gibson<\/strong><\/a> and Heath Ledger<\/strong><\/a>. Karyo’s other credits include the movies “Taking Lives,” “The Way,” “Wing Commander,” and the popular TV show “Baptiste.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
