Seck
Ibrahim. 1997-08-20

58

Born 1938-08-28. Domain:Performing. Cause of death:Unknown

Ibrahim Seck is a French comedian and humorist of Senegalese origin born on August 28, 1938 in Thies (then in French West Africa, now in Senegal) and died in the same city. At the end of his career, Ibrahim Seck was unfortunately employed in the cinema in caricatured compositions like Benny Luke who plays the servant Jacob in the trilogy of "La cage aux folles". Then, the beginnings of Eric Blanc suggest that the French cinema will give consistent roles to black actors but inappropriate comments against Henry Chapier at a ceremony of the Cesars put an end to his career. It was not until the careers of Isaach de Bankolé in "Black Mic Mac", Mouss Diouf in the series "Julie Lescaut" or Omar Sy with the triumph of "Intouchables" that these "visible minorities" were represented to their true value. Ibrahim Seck died on August 20, 1997 in complete anonymity, in his native land of Thies in Senegal.
