Jean-Paul Vignon, a French actor and vocalist who frequently lent his Gallic accent to Hollywood productions, died of liver cancer on March 22 in Beverly Hills, Calif. His voice appears when the lovelorn Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) goes to the movies by himself after Summer (Zoey Descanel) breaks up with him, only to fall asleep and dream of a black-and-white French film that speaks to his “suffering.” Among his endeavors in music and acting, Vignon went on to release his U.S. album “Because I Love You” and played a supporting role in the World War II film “The Devil’s Brigade.” He also hosted the Canadian show “The Sensuous Man,” produced by Dick Clark.
