** Since about 2014 starting with ''Serial (Bad) Weddings'' (''Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu?''), he invariably plays French OldMoney characters the movies make fun of for being conservative or slightly chauvinistic (or denying they are in the latter case).

** Since about 2014 starting with ''Serial (Bad) Weddings'' (''Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu?''), he invariably very often plays French OldMoney characters the movies make fun of for being conservative or slightly chauvinistic (or denying they are in the latter case).

Much like Creator/LouisDeFunes before him (to whom he's sometimes compared/considered a successor to), the overwhelming majority of Clavier's movie roles are comedic, and often about {{nervous|wreck}} and/or obnoxious {{Butt Monkey}}s, and are usually huge national box office draws. His most famous roles outside the Splendid' films include [[TimeTravel time-travelling]] [[MedievalMorons moronic medieval squire]] Jacquouille and his prickly [[IdenticalGrandson 20th century descendant]] Jacquart in ''Film/LesVisiteurs'' (he also wrote that trilogy) and [[ComicBook/{{Asterix}} Astérix the Gaul]]. He also often plays characters who are caricatures of the modern French upper class, be they {{Nouveau Riche}}s or OldMoney.

One of the founders of the UsefulNotes/{{Paris}}ian comedic theater troupe Le Splendid' with Creator/ThierryLhermitte, Michel Blanc, and Creator/GerardJugnot (they were all high school friends), later joined by Creator/JosianeBalasko and Bruno Moynot. They were most famous for their smash hit stage play-turned-movie ''Le père Noël est une ordure'' (''Film/SantaClausIsAStinker'') and the {{vacation|films}} comedy movies ''Les Bronzés'' (''Film/FrenchFriedVacation'') and ''Les Bronzés font du ski'' (''French Fried Vacation 2''). All of these count among the most popular and quotable comedy films ever made in France, enjoying widely watched {{rerun}}s every year without any sign of stopping.

His non-comedic roles are pretty much all to be found on TV, with productions such as a 2000 miniseries adaptation of ''Literature/LesMiserables'' in which he played Monsieur Thénardier alongside Creator/GerardDepardieu as Jean Valjean and ''[[Series/Napoleon2002 Napoléon]]'', a 2002 miniseries about UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte in which he played the main role (alongside Depardieu, again).
