3Vincent Crochon (born 23 November 1966 in Paris, France), [[StageName known as]] Vincent Cassel, is a French actor.
4
5He is the son of actor Creator/JeanPierreCassel and chief editor Sabine Cassel-Lanfranchi. Since his StarMakingRole in ''Film/LaHaine'', he has become one of the most prominent actors of modern French cinema. Much like his father, he is also known for playing in English language films, such as ''[[Film/OceansEleven Ocean's Twelve, Ocean's Thirteen]]'', ''Film/EasternPromises'' and ''Film/BlackSwan''.

7Throughout his career, he has put his [[FaceOfAThug eerie looks]], intense IcyBlueEyes stare and acting skills to good use, playing a sizeable collection of villainous, AxCrazy, deviant, {{jerkass}}, [[MoodSwinger mood-swinging]] or simply weird characters and, alternatively, a good chunk of dashing characters, occasionally [[LargeHam hamming it up]] with an [[PoirotSpeak outrageous]] [[MauriceChevalierAccent accent]] in non-French productions. A lover of UsefulNotes/{{Brazil}}, he practices UsefulNotes/{{Capoeira}}, which has come in handy for his roles on occasion. Oh, and... he has also played Franchise/JamesBond... [[https://youtu.be/NjhAKnorBYE in a Brazilian comedy short]]. He's frequently worked with his friend Creator/MathieuKassovitz.
8
9He has been married twice, once to Creator/MonicaBellucci from 1999 to 2013 and to French model Tina Kunakey (who is thirty years his junior) from 2018 to early 2023. As of late 2023 he is in a relationship with Brazilian model Narah Baptista, who is also 30 years his junior.
