Vincent Pérez (born June 10, 1962) is a Swiss actor from
Lausanne, Switzerland. Of Spanish and German descent, he is
the second of three children. He is currently married to

Pablo & Inès, and a step-daughter, Roxanne, whose father is
Vincent's co-star from Cyrano de Bergerac, Gérard Depardieu.
At age eighteen he left Switzerland for France. Before
studying acting, he considered a career as an artist. But
eventually commenced acting studies in Geneva, followed by
