Type your answer here... Marcel Marceau became a mime after joining the Charles Dullin acting school in Paris. There he met Etienne Decroux, who was developing his style there with Jean Louis Barrault. Marceau was influenced by silent films,especially by the work of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. He trained with Decroux and found that Decroux's style was too abstract for him. He moved towards a more narrative style that brought him to the world's attention. Decroux hated it and they fell out because of it. Decroux remarked in an interview when asked about Marceau's success,' Ah yes.The Pope is in St Peter's and Jesus Christ is still in the catacombs'. It has been said that Marceau did not have the vocal strength which an actor needed for the stage, indeed he was a very soft spoken man, and that was why he chose to be a mime.Whatever the reason he was a great mime and theatre owes him, Decroux and Barrault a lot.
