Gaspard Ulliel mini-bio: Gaspard Ulliel is a French actor and former male fashion model. He began appearing in made-for-television films during the late 1990s and early 2000s, and has since become known as a film actor in France, as well as starred in the title role in the horror/thriller Hannibal Rising.

Ulliel was born in the Parisian suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt to a runway show producer mother and a stylist father. He has a scar on his cheek as a result of a dog's scratch from when he was six years old. Ulliel attended the University of Saint-Denis, where he studied cinema. He began acting while he was still at school, appearing in 'Une Femme En Blanc', a film for French television. He also performed at the Cours Florent, where he was discovered by Les égarés director André Téchiné.

Since then, he has starred in a number of television productions, including La Bascule, Juliette, Julien L'apprenti and Le Refuge. Ulliel's first film was Alias, in 1999. Since then, he has become increasingly popular and was nominated for a César Award (Best Young Male) in 2003 for Embrassez qui vous voudrez, later winning the award in 2004 for his role in Les égarés. His biggest role to date may be Un long dimanche de fiançailles (A Very Long Engagement), in which he played Manech, Audrey Tautou's character's love interest.

Ulliel's most recent role is playing the young Hannibal Lecter, the title character of the prequel Hannibal Rising, which was released on February 9, 2007. Ulliel initially hesitated to audition for the role because of the character's popularity. The part is his second English-language film, and the first film where he speaks English in a leading role. It has not yet been decided whether there will be another film featuring Ulliel as Lecter. Ulliel's next role will be in a Niki Caro directed drama scheduled to film in New Zealand and France.

I'm not going to be like all the other girls screaming how hot you are, even though you really are good looking. I really loved your films, and you did so well in Hannibal Rising, it's one of my favourite films. Well done, and I hope to see you in even more films to come, because you are such a good actor. you really know how to play, and I love watching you on screen. I wish I could meet you one day, but I can't speak French. I though too, that you should have played Edward in Twilight, but Robert has won fair ans square, and I was not disappointed by his performance either, though you were much preferred for the role by many people.:D

Love, Jurate.

Well there was a reason Robert got chosen over Gaspard. So I think you people should stop complaining, if you're not gonna like the movie because you dont like the cast, then dont go see it. The twilight characters have enough pressure as it is, they dont need more hating fans. Not everything will go the fans' way, they chose who they think will play a good cast, so tha cast is chosen, so get over it! And everybody has different opinions. I agree with most of the cast, but Im not gonna go hating the actors whom I dont like for the role. Lets just hope that theyll truly portrait the characters from the fictional characters we love. Stop being so negative.
