Hollywood will never make a big budget movie about that guy, sadly. He deserves one, at least as much as Oskar Schindler did. Mind you, Raoul Wallenberg never got one either.

Eugène François Vidocq, an accquaintance of Victor Hugos's who was the inspiration for both Jean Valjean AND Javert (and apparently also Batman, from what I've heard). He was a criminal who later became a police officer (although unlike Javert he never arrested people who stole out of personal need). Could be funny to have him make a cameo in stories set in that time period.
