Pierre Niney is such a captivating actor there’s something about his screen presence that always draws you in. I first saw him in Yves Saint Laurent, and he completely embodied the role. It’s been great watching his evolution, especially with newer projects like Fiasco and The Count of Monte Cristo. He’s one of those rare talents who shines in both serious biopics and more lighthearted roles. Definitely one of the most versatile actors in French cinema right now!
