He first appeared on the screen in 1996 in I Hate Love (1997) in which he delivered a riveting performance of a man who is HIV positive. Lucas next played in Pola X (1999) by Leos Carax, and then with Karin Viard, shot two outstanding films: The New Eve (1999) and Haut les coeurs! (1999), his performance for which won him a Cesar nomination for Best Aspiring Actor.
In 2000, Lucas rose to notoriety with his role as a young father in _Harry un ami qui veut du bien (2000)_, and in 2003, appeared in three films presented at Cannes International Film Festival: Tiresia (2003), Qui a tué Bambi? (2003) and Va, petite! (2002).
