Juan Moreno y Herrera-Jiménez (born July 30, 1948 in Casablanca, Morocco), francized to "Jean" and shortened to "Reno", is a French actor of Spanish descent (his parents came from Andalusia and lived in Morocco when it was a Spanish protectorate). He moved to France when he was seventeen and studied acting at the Cours Simon acting school. His multiple collaborations with Creator/LucBesson in TheEighties and TheNineties gained him much notice in France and abroad, and the one-two-punch of ''Film/TheProfessional'' and ''Film/LesVisiteurs'' cemented him as a star.
