Biography

Born Pierre-Louis Dubus to an impoverished family in Paris, he was originally intended for the clergy.[1] While playing with a mediocre troop of actors in provincial France, Préville's budding talents were spotted in the town of Rouen by Jean Monnet, who engaged him to perform with the Opéra-Comique in Paris in 1743.[3] Later Préville returned to the provinces and was the manager of the Grand Théâtre in Lyon.[2]

He joined the Comédie Francaise in Paris in 1753, where he debuted on 20 September in the role of Crispin in Jean-François Regnard's Le Légataire universel (The Sole Legatee).[1] He took on roles previously played by {{Interlanguage link multi|François-Arnoul Poisson|fr|3=François-Arnoul Poisson de Roinville|vertical-align=sup}} and revealed himself to be the best comedian in the company since {{Interlanguage link multi|Jean-Baptiste Raisin|fr|lt=Jean-Baptiste Raisin.|vertical-align=sup}} He appeared with the actress {{Interlanguage link multi|Dangeville|fr|3=Marie-Anne Botot Dangeville|lt=Mlle Dangeville|vertical-align=sup}} with great success in several plays by Pierre de Marivaux[4] and created the roles of Figaro in Pierre Beaumarchais's Le Barbier de Séville in 1775 and Brid'oison in Le Mariage de Figaro in 1784.[3] One of his most notable successes was playing 6 characters in one in Edmé Boursault's Le Mercure galant.[4]
