Tossup

This man was not told until later that he was acting alongside Graham Greene in a scene in which Greene played an English insurance agent. In that film, this actor plays a character who claims a director is “someone who’s asked questions about everything”; that character played by this actor, Ferrand, faces difficulty while directing the film Meet Pamela. In a different film, a character played by this actor begins a conference talk by excusing his poor English, then proceeds to use the (*) Kodaly method (-5[1])to teach a five-note tune he recorded in India. That film opens with this actor’s character communicating through the interpreter David Laughlin as his team discovers missing World War II planes in the Sonoran Desert. For 10 points, name this actor who played French scientist Claude Lacombe in Close Encounters of the Third Kind and often appeared in his own films like Day for Night and (10[1])The 400 Blows. ■END■
