Pio Marmaï

Pio Marmai was born in Strasbourg, France in 1984. With both his parents working as stage and costume designers for the Strasbourg National Opera, Pio had from an early age a deep interest in drama. He attended classes of the Scuola Commedia dell'Arte Antonio Fava and the St Etienne National Drama Centre and began his career on stage at the Comédie-Française.
After a brief stint on television, he launched himself into cinema.
In 2008, he was nominated for the Césars, the French Academy Awards, as Best Promising Male Actor for his role as the rebellious older brother in The First Day of the Rest of Your Life, directed by Rémi Bezançon. Since 2010 Pio Marmai has been working steadily, notably in the role of the kidnapper in In Your Hands, co-starring Kristin Scott Thomas, and in Isabelle Czaika's Living on Love Alone, for which he was once again nominated to the Césars as Best Promising Male Actor. He appeared in The Delicacy from directors Stephane and David Foenkinos, co-starring Amélie's Audrey Tautou.
