Well, my French is pretty fluent, but that’s not to say correct. When and where did you learn to speak fluent French? It’s twice the work of working in English. Although I speak passable French, in a script are many words and phrases I would never use and I have to prepare more fully than the French actors so that I no longer have to think about the language at all, but can trust that I have it, and let my feelings and intuitions flow. After warm-up we begin with vowel sounds as they appear in the dialogue, then words and then phrases.

Most of my prep involves working with my extraordinary coach, Tanya Blumstein, a French/American girl with an extraordinary ear and a suitcase full of useful exercises.
Anyway, from that film I got my wonderful French agent, Celine Kamina of UBBA and she keeps her eyes open for good roles for me.
Both people who saw it in America liked it, but it was victimized by a lusterless ad campaign that marketed it as a “woman’s” film. The director was a French woman, and though it was filmed in English it put me on the cover of any magazines like Vogue, Elle, etc, all over Europe. When I was much younger I did a film called A Man in Love - Un Homme Amoreux - that was a huge hit in Europe. How did you get involved in this French production? How does an American actor get in French cinema?
