André Gabriello
**André Gabriello** (birth name André Léonard Gariel, 1896 – 1975) was a prolific French actor, known for his long career in cinema as a character actor.
With a good-natured but often gruff face and an unmistakable voice, Gabriello specialized in portraying ordinary characters from everyday French life. He portrayed workers, shopkeepers, policemen, concierges, or taxi drivers, often imbuing his roles with a blend of honesty, pragmatism, and subtle humor.
His presence guaranteed authenticity, and his features made him ideal for "man in the street" roles. His most memorable appearances include French cinema masterpieces such as *The Raven* (Le Corbeau, 1943) and *Quai des Orfèvres* (1947), both directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot, and Claude Autant-Lara's *Four Bags Full* (La Traversée de Paris, 1956), where he left an indelible mark.
