Career
His vocation for the theater began at the age of twelve when his French teacher, Patricia Brassem, asked him to play the main role in Molière’s comedy Les Fourberies de Scapin. He indeed began his film career not as an actor but as a director of short films (2 minutes 36 of happiness (1996), Pourkoi… passkeu (2001), the latter being part of the program “Zéro un” produced by Luc Besson ) . As a young actor, he played a few small roles, including Michel Hazanavicius’ first film, Mes Amis (1999). Guillaume Canet gave him a supporting role in his first feature film as a director, Mon idole (2002). In 2005, he made his film debut in the thriller Anthony Zimmer by Jérôme Salle. He played the role of a cumbersome best friend in the comedy Ma vie en l’air, an acclaimed romantic comedy by Rémi Bezançon. It was a huge success. Guillaume Canet produced three feature films in 2006: the romantic comedy On va s’aimer, written and directed by Ivan Calbérac, and the thriller Tell No One. In 2007, he played in two choral films: the dramatic comedy Ma place au Soleil, by Éric de Montalier, and the drama Paris, by Cédric Klapisch.

In the 2010s, he managed to get by by playing only in comic supporting roles. The decade begins with the adventure film Les Aventures extraordinaires d’Adèle Blanc-Sec directed by Luc Besson. In addition, he had another big hit with Guillaume Canet, Les Petits Mouchoirs. It even earned him a nomination for the 2011 Césars in the Best Supporting Actor category.
