Vincent Cassel is Mesrine

Q: With whom would you most like to work as an actress?
Virginie:  I saw Mesrine Public Ennemy and Killer Instinct when it came out in London and what really hit me at the time was Vincent Cassel ' ability to inhabit characters without being judgmental and therefore conveying a real sense of make believe.

It highlighted to me yet again that as an actor, it is essential in the approach to play a character being fictional or not, to not judge the actions, that each and every person's actions has a motive and reasons to be "acted"upon. It is not our place as actors to be judgmental but it is our role to reveal the life, therefore actions of a character.
Vincent Cassel is an actor who can truly inhabit characters, therefore he must have a strong in-depth knowledge of his own psyche and life pattern to start with. His game is very specific, detailed which makes it all the most enticing to watch but also enticing to play with I imagine.
I look forward to working with him.
