with the spectacle. Its career starts with the theatre in Brussels and
then begins with the cinema in 1985 in a fresco from Hugo Klaus "the
lion from Flandres", before being noticed in "the Master of music" of
Gerard Corbiau in 1988 when it interprets a young hooligan who learns
the song near the Master, Vandam. With a physique of dark young person,
it quickly takes down important roles near particular realizers. With
Christophe Kieslowski, it will play the lover of Irene Jacob in "the
double life of Veronique", then in "Three blue colors" at the sides of
Juliette Binoche. Violent husband of Beatrice Dal in "wood blacks",
this role is worth to him a nomination in Césars of the best hope in
