My Take
Andre Dussollier strikes me as the embodiment of the durable, dignified French actor. Born in 1946, he's built a career that spans stage, film and television, and that breadth tells me he never let himself get boxed into one medium. Winning the Moliere Award for Best Actor underlines how seriously the theater world takes him, which I think matters because stage acting demands a discipline that doesn't always survive the move to screen. What I find especially charming is his work as an audiobook narrator, a craft that lives entirely in the voice. For an actor of his standing to invest in that quieter art says a lot about his love of language.
