Jean Martinelli was a French actor who appeared in over 50 French films between 1933 and 1983, mostly in supporting roles. One of his few international films was Alfred Hitchcock's classic film To Catch a Thief (1955), where he played the role of a one-legged waiter. Martinelli also worked in television and theatre. He was married to the actress Nadine Basile. He also did a lot of dubbing, lending his soft, deep voice to actors such as John Wayne, Gary Cooper, Burt Lancaster and Raymond Burr, as well as to animated characters such as Shere Khan and Colonel Hathi in The Jungle Book. For children in particular, he remained the voice of the famous Nounours in Bonne nuit les petits (replacing Georges Aubert).

He was a French socialist journalist and politician. Guesde was the inspiration for a famous quotation by Karl Marx. Shortly before Marx died in 1883, he wrote a letter to Guesde and Paul Lafargue, both of whom already claimed to represent "Marxist" principles. Marx accused them of "revolutionary phrase-mongering". This exchange is the source of Marx's remark, reported by Friedrich Engels: "ce qu'il y a de certain c'est que moi, je ne suis pas Marxiste” (“what is certain is that [if they are Marxists], [then] I myself am not a Marxist”).
