Richard Bohringer is a French actor, singer, writer, and film director. He is the father of actresses Romane Bohringer and Lou Bohringer. Bohringer was born in Moulins, Allier, France, to a French mother, Huguette Foucault and a German father. His parents met during World War II, making him a child of war. At his birth, his parents left him with his maternal grandmother who lived in an HLM in Deuil-La Barre, his mother leaving to live in Germany. His father, dispatched to the Russian front, was taken prisoner for five years. Despite these difficulties, Bohringer describes his childhood with his grandmother as a happy one. During his life, he was able to see his father only three times.

He made his stage debut near the end of the 1960s. His first play, Les Girafes, was produced by Claude Lelouch. He entered the world of film with his first feature, Gérard Brach's La Maison, in 1970. In 1972, Richard Bohringer landed a significant role in L'Italien des Roses. It took until the beginning of the 1980s, however, for the actor, already in his forties, to truly make an impact, becoming one of the most notable French actors of this period. Beginning in 1981 with the film Diva by Jean-Jacques Beineix, he followed with numerous other roles, winning two César Awards for L'Addition(1984) and The Grand Highway (1987). Other notable performances include his work in Luc Besson's Subway (1985) and Gérard Jugnot's Une époque formidable... (1991). He also became a favored actor for Jean-Loup Hubert, playing the flighty husband in J'ai épousé une ombre (1983), and a collaborator with Jean-Pierre Mocky and his friend Bernard Giraudeau. In 1992, Bohringer and his daughter, Romane, were brought together on-screen by Claude Miller for The Accompanist.
