Romain Duris

Appealing actor 'Romain Duris' (qv) 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 _Le péril jeune (1994)_ (qv), _Dobermann (1997)_ (qv), _Le petit poucet (2001)_ (qv), _L'auberge espagnole (2002)_ (qv) or _Arsène Lupin (2004)_ (qv), and independent films like _Seventeen Times Cécile Cassard (2002)_ (qv), _Exiles (2004)_ (qv), _Gadjo Dilo - Geliebter Fremder (1997)_ (qv), _Being Light (2001)_ (qv), _Déjà mort (1998)_ (qv) or _When the Cat's Away (1996)_ (qv), 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 _The Beat That My Heart Skipped (2005)_ (qv); now Duris is seen as an excellent and touching actor by the critics and by the audience.::shy
