Vincent Perez

Swiss-born French actor born in Lausanne in 1964, one of the archetypal romantic leads of European cinema in the 1990s. He broke through as Christian in Cyrano de Bergerac (1990) opposite Gerard Depardieu, then anchored Indochine (1992) and Queen Margot (1994) as an idealised young man torn by history. He crossed into English-language studio work with The Crow: City of Angels (1996) and later moved behind the camera as a director. He also runs an active career as a photographer, giving him a European auteur profile beyond the leading-man persona.
