Trivia:

Has played both "d'Artagnan the Musketeer" and "Cyrano de Bergerac". In neither role, however, was he appearing in an adaptation of a literary work in which that character appears. In Cyrano et d'Artagnan, he played "d'Artagnan". That film was not based on any of Alexandre Dumas père's novels, or on the play "Cyrano de Bergerac"... See more »
