Niels Schneider spoke in the columns of Télé 7 jours on his feelings after taking over the role which was to go to Gaspard Ulliel in the Tikkoun series by Xavier Giannoli.
Currently showing at Sentinel south in the shoes of a French soldier returning from Afghanistan, Niels Schneider replaces the late Gaspard ulliel in the series Tikkun by Xavier Gannoli. A challenge for the Franco-Quebec actor, who confided in Télé 7 jours on how he approaches this role, which was to return to the actor who suddenly disappeared on January 19 after a skiing accident.
A tragic and not very obvious passing of the torch, which Virginie Efira’s companion considers “an honor“. Indeed, the one who already has an eclectic career in French cinema recognizes Gaspard Ulliel as “one of the best actors of his generation“. A sincere tribute, which the young man completes: “His incarnation of Yves Saint-Laurent is, in my opinion, unsurpassable.“. The interpretation of the legendary couturier in the film Saint Laurent by Bertrand Bonello had marked the public as well as the profession, and earned Gaspard Ulliel a César for Best Actor in 2015.
Niels Schneider as a crook
Regarding the filming of Tikkuna series adapted from the book Of blood and silversigned by Fabrice Arfi, journalist at Médiapart, Niels Schneider says he is positive, “The project is magnificent, and the team, really formidable. Everyone welcomed me with great generosity. I am thoroughly.“, he assures. The actor will camp the character of Arnaud Mimran, a “son of” in school failure who mounts a VAT fraud – a case for which, among other things, the real Arnaud Mimran was sentenced to eight years in prison, alongside a promising cast including Ramzy Bedia and Vincent Lindon.
