Romain Duris

Appealing actor Romain Duris is the exact example of those who arrived in the movie industry by chance, and to stardom without really desiring it. Discovered by a casting director while he was waiting in front of a high school in Paris, he was offered a role. Between popular successes such as Nuori uhma (1994), Dobermann (1997), Le petit poucet (2001), Espanjalainen kimppakämppä (2002) or Arsène Lupin (2004), and independent films like 17 fois Cécile Cassard (2002), Exils (2004), Gadjo dilo - muukalainen (1997), Being Light (2001), Déjà mort - Ei tässä elämässä (1998) or Kissa kateissa (1996), Duris proves to be versatile enough to be credible as a bandit, as a homosexual, or simply as a French student in the streets of Barcelona. The consecration has been Kun sydän lakkaa lyömästä (2005); now Duris is seen as an excellent and touching actor by the critics and by the audience.
