'''Joseph Holgado''', known professionally as '''Ticky Holgado''' (24 June 1944 – 22 January 2004), was a French actor. Known for his short stature, distinctive face and heavy Southern accent, he was a frequent collaborator with filmmaker [Jean-Pierre Jeunet](/source/Jean-Pierre_Jeunet).<ref>[http://www.lesoir.be/archive/recup%3A%252Fune-mini-interview-ticky-holgado_t-19950923-Z0A2AE.html Une mini interview de Ticky Holgado]</ref>

==Career==
Holgado's original vocation was to be a musician. After playing in a band as a teenager, he found work in the French music industry and was eventually employed as a personal secretary by singer [Claude François](/source/Claude_Fran%C3%A7ois), then by [Johnny Hallyday](/source/Johnny_Hallyday).<ref>{{Cite web|title=Ticky Holgado|url=https://www.programme-tv.net/biographie/1441-holgado-ticky/|website=Télé Loisirs| language=fr|access-date=2025-06-26}}</ref>

He became an actor in his mid-thirties and began appearing in small roles, mostly in [comedy film](/source/comedy_film)s. He gradually became a familiar face in French films.  

In 1991, Holgado appeared in two films that allowed him to gain greater fame,  ''[Delicatessen](/source/Delicatessen_(1991_film))'' by [Jean-Pierre Jeunet](/source/Jean-Pierre_Jeunet) and [Marc Caro](/source/Marc_Caro), then ''[Une époque formidable...](/source/Une_%C3%A9poque_formidable...)'', by [Gérard Jugnot](/source/G%C3%A9rard_Jugnot), where he played a part written especially for him. 

During the years that followed, Holgado was very active as a [character actor](/source/character_actor). He was nominated twice to the [César Award for Best Supporting Actor](/source/C%C3%A9sar_Award_for_Best_Supporting_Actor), first for ''Une époque formidable...'', then for ''[French Twist](/source/French_Twist_(film))'' (1994).

In September 2003, Holgado announced the remission of his [lung cancer](/source/lung_cancer), which had considerably rarefied his appearances on the screen since 2000. On 5 January 2004, he had just begun work on a new film with [Claude Lelouch](/source/Claude_Lelouch), but he succumbed to cancer on 22 January 2004.  He left a posthumous message, in the form of a document which appeared on his hospital bed after taking him to surgery to remove his fourth cancerous tumor. Holgado declared there: "It is necessary to tell to people that it's absolutely necessary to ''stop smoking''".

Ticky Holgado was buried at the [Père Lachaise Cemetery](/source/P%C3%A8re_Lachaise_Cemetery) (45th division).<ref>Yvan Foucart, Dictionnaire des comédiens français disparus, Mormoiron, Éditions cinéma, 2008, 1185 p. ({{ISBN|978-2-9531-1390-7}})</ref>
