Vincent Cassel – Voice Actor Profile & Notable Roles

Blue-eyed Vincent Cassel was born in Paris to a leading actor father, Jean-Pierre Cassel, and a journalist mother, Sabine Litique. Often labeled as a tough guy because of his roles, eclectic choices and talent have made of him a star of European cinema. First in La haine (1995), the young actor, actually coming from upper classes, succeeded to express the despair of a social class living in the suburbs of towns. This veracity in his play comes from the fact that he was in fact since years in connection with many hip-hop artists from the rising generation, (his own brother was leader of a legendary french rap group). Then the success of The Crimson Rivers (2000), where he plays a young French cop alongside Jean Reno, made of him "the man to count on." He never hid his taste for rap music, break dance, Capoeira, Brasil and his endless energy, but Vincent is also a family man, married to Monica Bellucci, his Italian co-star from The Apartment (1996); and recently a father.Has dubbed Hugh Grant for the French versions of several of Grant's films.Is good at Brazilian martial art, "Capoeira". He demonstrates this in the Lazer Field scene in Ocean's Twelve (2004).The day after I had my licence to drive I made Paris/Nice at 230 km/hour.Often plays short-tempered, mentally unbalanced charactersA Dangerous Method58 years oldNovember 23, 1966Paris, FranceVincent Crochon6 feet 2 inches, or 1.88 meters
