Romain Duris |
|
- Frederic Diefenthal, Taxi, France, 1998. Too good for such Luc Besson action tripe, as Duris proved - triumphantly - in Jacques Audiard’s 2005 French re-make of James Toback’s Fingers, 1978: De battre mon coeur s'est arrêté.
- Mads Mikkelsen, Casino Royale, 2006.
- Nicholas Duvauchelle, Le deuxième Souffle, 2007. Auteur Alain Corneau approached Duris for the young gunman. Duris passed: the role was too small. (Hey, didn’t he know - no such thing as small roles, only small actors).
- Lambert Wilson, L’Odyssee (The Odyssey), France, 2015. Or The Making of Commander Jacques-Yves Cousteau, globally revered for his remarkable TV shows about the sea. Duris (the most wasted French star) and American Adrien Brody were discussed for le commandant. Wilson scored a double whammy of playing the nation’s most admired Frenchmen: Clouseau and the priest called l’Abbé Pierre.
