Mathieu Kassovitz (Paris, 1967) is a French actor, director and screenwriter who broke through internationally with La Haine (1995), his unflinching portrait of the Parisian banlieue that won him Best Director at Cannes and the César for Best Film. As an actor he is recognised for his roles in Amélie, The Fifth Element and the spy series Le Bureau des Légendes. He has won three César Awards in total and has worked on both sides of the camera throughout his career.
The two-part historical film De Gaulle, in which Kassovitz plays the role of François Darlan, is scheduled for release in France in the summer of 2026 - part one on 10 June, part two on 3 July.
Kassovitz founded the production company Venturi Production during the Cannes Film Festival together with Monegasque entrepreneur Gildo Pastor, aimed at films, series and documentaries that focus on technology and science.
Kassovitz gave the starting signal for the 48th edition of the 24 Heures Motos at the Bugatti circuit in Le Mans in April 2025, as a guest of honour because of his passion for motorcycles.
Kassovitz appeared as General Strix in episode 4 of the Disney+ series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, which premiered in December 2024.
