Lembit Ulfsak in the role of Jacques Paganel

The actors of the film "In Search of Captain Grant" were remembered by the audience with their bright and characteristic characters. The most striking of them, perhaps, can be called the hero Lembit Ulfsaka - Jacques Paganel.

But sometimes his absent-mindedness causes more problems than he would like: for example, when decoding cards, he makes a silly mistake, as a result of which the expedition leaves for South America, instead of looking for Grant off the coast of Australia.

Paganel knows about his shortcomings and is not averse to laughing at them himself. But in the end, his absent-mindedness turns out to be useful and saves the life of the main characters in the finale of the film.

Lembit Ulfsak, who played the role of Paganel, is also known to the audience for the role of Mr. "Hey" in the musical film "Mary Poppins, Goodbye!". The actor has played many more roles in a wide variety of films. Remains it in demand to this day. His last film is connected with the film "The End of the Beautiful Age" by Stanislav Govorukhin.
