Vincent Cassel – French actor

Vincent Cassel is a French actor, winner of Cesar Award.
Vincent Cassel (his real surname is Crochon) was born on November 23, 1966 in Paris. He is the son of Jean-Pierre Cassel and journalist Ann Seiler, half-brother of actress Cecile Cassel and musician Mathieu Cassel known as Rockin’ Squat.
Vincent attended Catholic school because his parents were very religious people. The boy was interested in school drama. After his parents divorced in 1980, 13-year-old Vincent lived with his mother. As a boy he was a shoplifter and even tried to steal a car. Deciding to change the life of the young bully, Cassel entered the circus school and then went to New York.
His career as an actor began in New York, then he returned to France and worked in the theater for several years. Being a popular stage actor, he tried his hand as a film actor, but the first small roles in the films Les Clés du paradis, Hot Chocolate and the television series Warburg: A Man of Influence didn’t bring satisfaction and popularity.

His first big film role was in the film Métisse (1993) by his friend Mathieu Kassovitz. Two years later the main role in the black-and-white drama La Haine brought him the first nomination for Cesar Award at the Cannes Film Festival.
In 1996, he starred in melodrama L’Appartement and a year later in the crime drama with elements of black humor Dobermann. In 1998 he was offered the role of the Duke of Anjou in the historical film Elizabeth which was nominated for Oscar and became the best British film of the year. The following year he played the role of Gilles de Rais in the historical film Joan of Arc.
