Vincent Cassel Is One Of The Best Actors Of Our Generation (And Nobody Knows It)

French actor Vincent Cassel is the man. In a perfect world, I could start and end this article with that one sentence. Alas, I need to convince all of you as well, so that is just what I am here to do. When people think amazing actors, it seems there are a handful of performers that most people seem to agree on. Even if some of his recent choices have not been up to snuff, Brad Pitt seems to be an actor most seem to enjoy and appreciate. Very few would argue that Daniel Day-Lewis is not a genius of modern film. Robert Downey Jr. is the underdog who fought his way back from the very edge of the abyss to become even MORE popular then he was before his descent. Kevin Spacey may seem to be vanishing from the limelight, but in the late 90's, very few actors could touch what he was doing. Hell, even unkempt guys like Sam Rockwell seem like they rarely fail. But what about those great actors who seem to fall between the cracks?

[h2]What’s Next For Vincent Cassel:[/h2]

A French version of Beauty and the Beast, set to drop in 2014, may sound like the lamest thing ever, but if you know ANYTHING about French movies and ANYTHING about Vincent Cassel, and it is safe to say this telling of this classic tale could be a bit messed up and worth looking into.

The Danny Boyle thriller with Cassel called Trance is available in some areas on-demand right now, and though I expected more from both Danny Boyle AND Vincent Cassel working together (the thought of the pairing, before I had seen the movie, was definite source for a movie boner, so there is no way they would have been able to live up to it), Trance is still a well-crafted thriller, and worth seeing for the scene when Cassel has only half a face. I had to include the pic up there because it was too cool not to share, and anyone who wants to tell me it is a spoiler, that shot is in the trailer, so I don’t have any guilt.

In short, if you haven’t done so already, you need to check out Vincent Cassel’s amazing filmography. I think you will find that he really is one of the under-appreciated gems of modern acting.

The fact that I just called him a “gem” may really undermine all two-thousand words that came before it.
