Compilation: Who is Stefan Crepon, a comedic revelation with Jonathan Cohen?

Just four months after the Goldman trial, Cedric Kahn is back with the comedy Making Of , in theaters Wednesday. A comedy about the world of cinematography, in which we follow an experienced director who quickly becomes overwhelmed by events on the set of his film, to the point of social conflict with his own team. His only ally? A young extra to whom he entrusted the production of making.

For this film, Cedric Kahn brought together Dennis Podalides (as the director), the very popular Jonathan Cohen – who plays the out-of-control actor – and Stefan Crepon, who plays the famous director. The 28-year-old is one of the new hopes of French cinema.

From Bureau of Legends to Caesars

After a brief stint at law school, the actor took courses in Florence, then joined the Conservatory’s National Drama School in 2017. In his first year, he landed a role in Season 4 of Bureau of Legends, Cesar. A computer hacking genius working in DGSE. He will find this character in the 5th season of the spy series.

On the basis of this excellent performance, things are accelerating for the young actor: he plays The Salt of Tears, Les Promesses and takes part in several episodes of the TV series Lupine with Omar Sy, a real hit on Netflix. In 2022, he plays Carl in François Ozon’s Peter von Kant, a tyrannical assistant to a successful director. A burlesque and silent role that allowed him to stand out: he was nominated for a César for the most promising actor.

The circle is complete

The Making Of allows him to find the one who started it all. Indeed, Stéphane Crepon made his film debut in 2018 in Cédric Kahn’s La Prière. She’s just coming out, but the director has promised to give her a big role one day: “He plays honestly and his point of view is like a movie. He’s at the bottom of the ladder and he looks at this world of cinema with somewhat confused eyes. And frankly, Stefani is great: deep, inhabited, gracious. “

Their collaboration doesn’t end there: we’ll find them in Simon Buisson’s Drone, where they’ll play opposite each other this time. He will also appear in Up to the Level, a film adapted from the novel What you need at night By Laurent Pettimangin. He plays the son of Vincent Lyndon with another outstanding young actor, Benjamin Voisin, with whom he also shared an apartment!

Cedric Kahn is currently in theaters.
