Cyrille Autin's early life began in the South suburb of Paris, France, where he was born, but he spent most of his childhood in Pays de Gex, France. As one of six children to parents Françoise and Bruno Autin, he developed a strong foundation for his future endeavors.
His introduction to the world of acting came at Berkeley's Dr. King Jr. High School in 1976, when Miss Washburn introduced him to the craft. This early experience had a profound impact on his development as an artist. Three years later, in 1979, Autin created his first Punk Rock Opera, "Apology of the Apocalypse," showcasing his innovative and creative approach to storytelling.
After completing his education at the Conservatory of Dramatic Arts in Geneva, Switzerland, Autin relocated to Paris in 1983. His professional debut on television and film came in the form of "Les Capricieux," directed by the acclaimed Michel Deville.
In 1984, Autin was hired by the renowned director Jean-Luc Godard to play the role of a Punk Rocker in his film "Detective." The following year, he was invited to join the Wooster Group in New York City, where he performed a monologue of his own creation. Autin spent three years with the group, honing his craft and developing his unique style.
In 2013, Autin relocated to California and joined Tim Robbins' troop, "The Actors' Gang," in Culver City, California.
Throughout his career, Autin's ability to adapt to new environments and characters has been a defining characteristic. By constantly displacing himself from one environment to the next, he has developed a remarkable gift for blending into his surroundings and becoming one with his characters. This unique ability is reflected in all of his work, making him a versatile and talented artist.
