Vincent Cassel Talks Jim Jarmusch Inspiration For Taxi-Driving Charon In ‘The Opera!’; Romain Gavras’ ‘Sacrifice’ & Enduring Resonance Of ‘La Haine’
EXCLUSIVE: Vincent Cassel has built a reputation over his 30-year career for playing bad and good guys with a menacing, violent edge from Vinz in La Haine, to ruthless gangster Jacques Mesrine, or a tough-talking mercenary in Apple TV+ series Liaison. While the association has branched out into other activities such as a school, under the instigation of later member Ladj Ly, Cassel says his personal and professional ties with co-founders Gavras, Kim Chapiron, journalist Mouloud Achour, Olivier Barthélémy and the rapper Oxmo Puccino remain strong. Thirty years on from La Haine, Cassel acknowledges the types of roles he is taking on are changing, with the actor recently appearing in a number of more classical adaptations such as Martin Bourboulon’s The Three Musketeers duology and Pablo Agüero’s Saint-Exupéry, in which he plays the iconic air pilot’s best friend Henri Guillaumet.
