Mathieu Amalric French pronunciation: ​; born 25 October 1965)[1] is a French actor and filmmaker. Amalric is perhaps best known internationally for his performance as the lead villain in Bond film Quantum of Solace, his performance in Steven Spielberg's Munich and for his role in The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, for which he drew critical acclaim. He has also won the Étoile d'or and the Lumières Award.

Life and career

Amalric was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, a suburb of Paris, France, the son of journalists Nicole Zand, a literary critic for Le Monde, and Jacques Amalric, who has worked as a foreign affairs editor for Le Monde and Libération. Amalric's father is French. Amalric's mother was born in Poland, to Jewish parents, and moved to France at the oubreak of World War II; she originates from the same city as director Roman Polanski's family.[2][3] Amalric first gained fame in the film Ma Vie Sexuelle (My Sex Life...or How I Got Into an Argument), for which he won a César Award.

Amalric was selected to play the James Bond villain Dominic Greene, and stars alongside Daniel Craig (with whom he had previously starred in Munich) in the 2008 film Quantum of Solace.[4]

He has three sons, two with his ex-wife Jeanne Balibar, and one with his girlfriend, a writer, with whom he currently lives in the Belleville neighbourhood of Paris.

His 2010 film, On Tour, premiered at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival and won Amalric the Best Director Award.[5]

His 2014 film The Blue Room, which he directed and starred in, was selected to compete in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.[6]
