Stéphane Coulon

Stéphane Coulon’s name might not be plastered all over every billboard in Hollywood, but if you’ve poked around the French film and TV scene, you’ve probably caught his work in a bunch of places. People first started buzzing about him with “Plus Belle La Vie” back in 2004. That show was basically a cultural mainstay—think of it as France’s answer to those soap operas that just refuse to quit. Coulon popped up there, weaving his way into the messy lives and endless drama of Marseille’s beloved fictional residents. Then, you’ve got “Gorilla” from 2016. Not your typical blockbuster—this one’s got a weird, gritty charm. Coulon slips into his character with this understated swagger; he’s not trying to dazzle you with fireworks, but you remember him after the credits roll. The film itself is kind of hard to pin down: part crime, part comedy, a dash of existential dread for good measure. But that’s the thing—Coulon’s performances stick because he’s not afraid to get a little weird with it. Fast-forward to “Den of Thieves: Pantera” (2025), and he’s still at it. This latest project’s been getting some hype, especially from fans who loved the first “Den of Thieves.” Word is, Coulon brings a whole new flavor to the sequel—maybe a little darker, a little more unpredictable. He’s not just there to fill a slot; he’s got this edge, a kind of tense energy that makes you wonder what his character’s going to pull next. So, yeah—keep an eye on him, because this guy’s not fading out anytime soon.
