Dominique Farrugia, born on September 2, 1962, in Vichy, France, is a multifaceted talent known for his work as an actor, film director, producer, screenwriter, comedian, and humorist. He is a co-founder of the iconic comedy group Les Nuls, alongside Alain Chabat, Chantal Lauby, and Bruno Carette, which emerged in the mid-1980s.
Farrugia's career took off with the launch of Canal+ in 1984, where he began as a production assistant and trailer editor on the show Tous en scène. His collaboration with Chabat blossomed into the creation of Les Nuls, leading to the 1987 hit television series *Objective: nul*, which received the prestigious 7 d'Or award for best comedy show.

The group's success peaked with the 1994 film *La Cité de la peur*, which garnered over three million admissions in France. After Les Nuls disbanded in 1992, Farrugia transitioned into directing with films like *Delphine 1, Yvan 0* and *Trafic d'influence*, and founded the RF2K production company.
In 1997, he established the cable channel Comédie!, nurturing emerging comedic talent. He later launched Cuisine TV and produced successful films such as *Vidocq* and *Monsieur Batignole*. In 2010, he co-directed *L'amour c'est mieux à deux*, a box office success in France. His production company FEW partnered with Luc Besson's EuropaCorp in 2012, solidifying his influence in the film industry.
