My Take
Reda Kateb is one of those French actors I think of as a craftsman first and a star second. He works steadily across film and television, and the fact that he also writes and directs tells me he wants control over the stories he tells, not just the parts he plays. Winning the 2015 César for Best Supporting Actor and being named a Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres reads to me like respect from inside the industry rather than tabloid fame. He's from the 14th arrondissement of Paris, and I get the sense he's the kind of performer who quietly elevates whatever ensemble he joins.
