At the end of the 1970s, he was 18 years old and already quite drifting, in Créteil, at the MJC, he became acquainted with cinema. A 16 mm Beaulieu camera, black and white film galore, and it's an adventure. One day, he heard actor Sacha Pitoëff on the radio explaining that his course was open to everyone.

He does what he can with “his build”. He telephones Bertrand Tavernier: “We had a coffee together and we discussed cinema, that brought me a lot.

The young actor searches for himself, launches into poetry, reads Pierre de Ronsard, Victor Hugo, Stéphane Mallarmé, Tristan Corbière, Max Jacob, and writes “I wrote sonnets, two quatrains and two tercets. I took my time. No more than three in the year. I also wrote short stories in prose. In my opinion." In the early 1980s, Jean-Roger Milo appeared in films such as Tir Groupé and Un Dimanche De Flic. In L'As Des As, he is part of the sports team alongside Jean-Paul Belmondo. Confined to the employment of the villain, the experience is painful. “Playing is always an act against one’s nature.
