About me

View profile
I am an actor, 34 years old, and 6 feet 2 inches tall. I have a natural, fairly calm stage presence, with a style of acting that is often described as sincere, instinctive, and very grounded. My physicality allows me to navigate roles ranging from contemporary leading men and sensitive or romantic characters to more down-to-earth, physical, and relatable roles.

I have a very direct and expressive gaze, and I can easily shift from a restrained, intense energy to something more sunny and warm. I love characters with a strong inner life, but also those who live fully in the real world, with an immediate human dimension.

I trained at the Cours Florent and then at ESCA (École Supérieure de Comédiens par l’Alternance), where I developed a rigorous practice in classical and contemporary theater. On stage, I have notably played Macbeth in Shakespeare, Gargantua in Rabelais, as well as roles in plays by Maxim Gorky and Frédéric Sonntag. These experiences have taught me to carry leading roles and to navigate physical, poetic, and socially engaged worlds.

On screen, I have worked on several short films, series, and feature films, notably under the direction of Lola Quivoron, Alexandre Laurent, and Émilie and Sarah Barbault. I enjoy both the precision required by the camera and the intensity of the set.

Alongside acting, music plays an important role in my life through the duo “Mistral.” I speak English and Italian, and I have a deep connection to popular culture, cooking, sports, and the atmosphere of the South, which I know intimately.
