René Ferté was a Swiss actor who worked principally in the French cinema, from 1923 onwards. He is mostly known for performances in a series of silent films directed by Jean Epstein. His roles in sound films were generally less notable, though he appeared in Fritz Lang's Le Testament du docteur Mabuse (French version), and he took the title role in the 1934 sound remake of Judex. After the outbreak of the Second World War he ceased working in films.
