Jury's president
Stéphane Freiss
Born in the Paris region on November 22, 1960, Stéphane Freiss specialized in History at the University of Nanterre, before dropping everything to devote himself to his passion and train as an actor with the renowned Yves Pignot. Graduating from the drama conservatory in 1985, he quickly joined the prestigious Comédie Française.
At the same time, Stéphane Freiss made his television debut and the film “Premiers Désirs” marked his first appearance in the cinema alongside the beautiful and still unknown Emmanuelle Béart. He continued his career by making appearances in films such as Agnès Varda’s “Sans roof ni loi” and Pierre Jolivet’s “Le Complexe du Kangourou” which made him known little by little.
Revealed in 1988 in “Chouans!” by Philippe de Broca, Stéphane Freiss received the César for Most Promising Actor for his role as a mischievous royal in love with Sophie Marceau. Very active and recognized on stage, the actor won a Molière in 1992 for his performance in “It Was Good” by James Saunders and after various TV films, he lent his voice to the reading of some literary texts, particularly poetic works. by Andrée Chedid.
In the cinema, his seductive physique allows him to respond to actresses such as Maruschka Detmers in “Comme des rois” or Catherine Zeta-Jones in “The Thousand and One Nights” by Philippe de Broca.
The protean talent of Stéphane Freiss is skilfully exploited by filmmakers and authors who entrust him with colorful and diverse roles. Thus, from the marital turmoil he experiences in Jean-Pierre Améris’ film, he turns once again towards laughter in the shoes of a human resources director at Dany Boon and his famous Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis. “The marriage of the two works well, I find complementarity there” he comments, speaking of the drama and the comedy.
By lending his voice to Doctor Cockroach in the French version of “Monsters Against Aliens”, he has just given the answer to very young stars, Julien Doré and Louise Bourgoin.
