Appealing actor Romain Duris 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), Dobermann (1997), Le petit poucet (2001), L'auberge espagnole - Barcelona für ein Jahr (2002) or Arsène Lupin (2004), and independent films like 17 fois Cécile Cassard (2002), Exils (2004), Gadjo Dilo - Geliebter Fremder (1997), Being Light (2001), Déjà mort (1998) or ...und jeder sucht sein Kätzchen (1996), 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 Der wilde Schlag meines Herzens (2005); now Duris is seen as an excellent and touching actor by the critics and by the audience.
