On the occasion of the release of “The Three Musketeers: Milady”, a little focus on Julien Frison, a very fashionable young actor.
In The Three Musketeers: Milady, the second part of the swashbuckling diptych directed by Martin Bourboulon released this week in cinemas, Julien Frison reprises his character of Gaston de France. This 30-year-old actor is having a busy 2023, with several notable roles, both on the big screen and on television.
Born in 1993, Julien grew up in Etterbeek, not far from Brussels. Passionate about theater, he went to Paris after high school and began his training at Cours Florent. In 2013, he joined the National Higher Conservatory of Dramatic Art. Working a lot, he quickly made a name for himself in the industry by playing in numerous plays.
Among them, we can count Lucrezia Borgia by Victor Hugo, The Free Trade Hotel by Georges Feydeau, Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand, Deceits of Scapin by Molière, Twelfth Night And King Lear by William Shakespeare, False confidences of Marivaux or even The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov.
This strong theatrical activity allowed him to become a resident of the prestigious Comédie-Française in 2016.

His roles gaining importance in the early 2020s, he played the lover of Anamaria Vartolomei in The Event, a young police recruit with little involvement in The Night of the 12th and a researcher adversary and then ally of Ella Rumpf in The Theorem of Marguerite (which earned her the chance to compete in the Revelations category at the 2024 César Awards).
Julien also takes part in the diptych The Three Musketeers, in the role of Gaston de France, the brother of the King of France. Two feature films allowing him to reunite with another key pillar of the Comédie-Française: the charismatic Eric Ruf, who plays Cardinal Richelieu.

But it is on television that the Belgian delivers his most striking performances. After taking part in the period series La Révolution for Netflix and playing the haughty aristocrat Alexis Clairet de Granval in Tapie (led by Laurent Laffite, also a resident of the Comédie-Française), he plays one of the main characters from the Sambre mini-series.
In this six-episode program centered on the infamous rapist Dino Scala (played by the chilling Jonathan Turnbull), Julien plays a particularly incompetent police officer, who bears his share of responsibility for the fact that the criminal was able to act for so long with complete impunity .
