Actor: Lambert Wilson


I've mentioned that I periodically get very into one actor or movie or other... Well, recently this actor as been a favorite of mine.
Lambert Wilson
He is a French actor who (I'd say) is mostly known in America for his role as the 'Merovingian' in the second and third Matrix movies.
I like him because, as I am into French things right now, he has a *wonderful* accent, he is French, he has a great chiseled face which I am instinctively drawn to when I draw mens' faces, and he's a good actor. He's very full of pomp and is very much the "arrogant French-man" in the Matrix, but seeing him in other movies like Sahara (1983) with Brooke Shields, or even his smaller role in Timeline with Gerard Butler, I like the characters I've seen him play and it's a pleasure to watch him act in his roles. Unfortunately, most of his roles are (you guessed it) in French movies, speaking the French language fluently. It's really difficult to get a hold on those kinds of movies! Especially with sub-titles... yikes. Suffice it to say, I've watched one (probably not even the full version) movie completely in French with no sub-titles in English or otherwise, and I did not *get* any of it. ^_^ Serves me right. But I will continue! I'm sure I shall.
