Biography
At the age of 12, Le Hack joined the circus of Joseph Bouillon, in which he was a juggler and an acrobat. Then he studied in Brussels, in the school of Maurice Bejart " Mudra ", which he graduated in 1973. Then, for 12 years, he danced in the Bezhar troupe “ Ballet of the 20th Century ”, was a partner of the ballerina Rita Polvoorda in the ballets “ Our Faust ” (1975) and “ Mass of our time ” (1983). In the late 1980s, when Bejart moved to Lausanne, he decided to leave the troupe in order to pursue a career in theater and television.
In 1991, Jacques Antoine invited Le Hack in the game “ Fort Boyard ” to play the role of the old man Fur, who puzzles the players and in exchange for the correct answers gives them the keys to the treasury (previously this role was played by Michel Skurno ). According to Le Hack, applying makeup and entering the role take him several hours. In 2002, he was replaced in this role by parody actor Didier Herve , but after numerous letters from viewers, Jan agreed to return.
In addition to playing the role of Elder Fur, Jan Le Hack also co-authored the Adventure Line Productions television company: he was the administrator of the Fort Boyard game and compiled some of the tests: he came up with the Running Track competitions (with buckets suspended from above) and Turnstile using his own life experience - once he spilled water from ice cells, and the turnstile round-robin system is typical of urban transport in France. Le Hack combined the positions of art producer and test designer until 2005, when Laurent Almosnino took both of these positions.
In parallel, Le Hack is a co-author of the French show Koh-Lahta on TF1 (an analogue of the American Survivor and the Russian " Last Hero ").
The artist is married to a Russian ballerina named Yana, they have two sons.
