Albert Brasseur

Albert Brasseur was the stage name of the French actor Jules Cyrille Albert Dumont (12 February 1860 – 13 May 1932). The son of a successful Parisian actor manager, Jules Brasseur, he was intended for a military career, but a successful appearance in a small role in one of his father's productions led him to become an actor.
