Gaspard Ulliel is a French film actor. He started appearing in made-for-television films in the late
1990s and the early 2000s, and he has since become known as a great film actor in France, and hopefully starting a career
in America.
Gaspard was born to a runway show producer mother and a stylist father. Gaspard attended the University of Saint-Denis,
where he studied cinema. He began acting while he was still at school, appearing in 'Une Femme En Blanc', a film for French
television. He also performed at the Cours Florent, where he was discovered by Les ĂcgarĂcs director AndrĂc TĂcchinĂc.
Gaspard has starred in a number of television productions, including La Bascule, Juliette, Julien L'apprenti and Le
Refuge. Ulliel's first film was Alias, in 1999. Since then, he has become increasingly popular including his small role in
"Brotherhood of the Wolf", and was nominated for a Cacsar Award (Best Young Male) in 2003 for Embrassez qui vous voudrez,
later winning the award in 2004 for his role in Strayed as the rebelious lover to a refugee during the World War. His biggest
role to date may be A Very Long Engagement, in which he played Manech, Audrey Tautou's character's love interest.
Gaspard's most recent american role was playing the young Hannibal Lecter, in Hannible Rising, which was released on February
9, 2007. Gaspard hesitated to audition for the role because of the character's popularity. The part is his second English-language
film, and the first film where he speaks English in a leading role.
