'''Daniel Ceccaldi''' (25 July 1927 – 27 March 2003) was a French actor.

He was born in [[Meaux]], [[Seine-et-Marne]], France. The mild-mannered Daniel Ceccaldi is famous as [[Claude Jade]]'s father ''Lucien Darbon'' in [[François Truffaut]]'s movies ''[[Stolen Kisses]]'' and ''[[Bed and Board (1970 film)|Bed and Board]]''. Note: Christine refers to him twice as "Lucien", not papa, indicating perhaps that he is not her biological father, echoing Truffaut's own experience. The American critic Bob Wade wrote about Ceccaldi in 'Stolen Kisses': "Claude Jade's parents are memorably played by Daniel Ceccaldi and Claire Duhamel. Ceccaldi’s role may represent the most pleasant and neurosis-free father in any movie of the era. He overflows with Dickensian warmth and geniality."
