Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAR-BEC
BARON, MICHEL (16531729) ,
French
  actor (whose family name originally was Boyron), was
born
  in Paris, the son of a leading actor (d. 1655) and of a talented actress (d. 1662). At the age of twelve he joined the
company
  of children known as the Petits Comediens Dauphins, of which he was the brightest
star
 . Moliere was delighted with his talent, and with the king's permission secured him for his own
company
 . In consequence of a misunderstanding with Moliere's wife, the actor withdrew from the dramatist's company, but rejoined it in 167o, reappearing as Domitien in Corneille's Tile et Berenice, and in his
Psyche
 . He remained in this company until Moliere's death. He then became a member of the company at the Hotel de Bourgogne, and from this time until his retirement in 1691 was undisputed master of the
French
  stage, creating many of the leading roles in Racine's tragedies, besides those in two of his own comedies, L'Homme a bonnes fortunes (1686), and La Coquette (1687). He also wrote Les Enlevements (1685), Le Debauche (1689), and translated and acted two plays of Terence. In 1720 Baron re-appeared at the Palais Royal, and his activity on the stage was421
renewed in a multitude of parts. He died on the 22nd of
December
  1729.
His son
ETIENNE
 
MICHEL
  BARON (1676171i) was also a fine actor, and left a son and two daughters who all played at the Comedie Frangaise.
