He then became a television and cinema actor. He has also worked as director.In his 30s during the shooting of Cartouche, he discovered his passion for horses and equestrianism. He has been a horse breeder since then and now owns Le Haras de Villequoy. His passion led him to become a horse consultant for French television in 2004. He has won two César Awards In 1976, Best Supporting Actor for Que la fête commence; and in 1978, Best Actor for Le Crabe-tambour.He was to play the title character in The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, after being found as the perfect Quixote by director Terry Gilliam.

A documentary, Lost in La Mancha, was made about the failed production. With recent news of the films possible restart, Rochefort has been recast with Robert Duvall, due to his inability to ride a horse.In 1960 he married Alexandra Moscwa, with whom he fathered two children a girl, Marie (1962), and a boy, Julien (1965).In 2007, he sang with the French band Dionysos a short verse in lhomme sans trucage « Vas-y, saute, monte, grimpe à ton cœur, sauve-toi, naie pas peur, ouvre grand, mon petit, il est temps davaler une énorme bouffée dair frais, andalucia, anda, anda, andalucia... » (Go ahead, jump, climbs to your heart, save yourself, dont be afraid, open wide, my boy, its time to swallow a huge breath of fresh air, andalucia, anda, anda, andaluci...)Description above from the Wikipedia article Jean Rochefort, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.
