Mathieu Amalric (French pronunciation: [ma.tjø a.mal.ʁik]; born 25 October 1965) is a French actor and filmmaker. Amalric is perhaps best known internationally for his performance as the lead villain in Bond film Quantum of Solace, his performance in Steven Spielberg's Munich, and for his role in The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, for which he drew critical acclaim. He has also won the César Award and the Lumières Award.
Amalric was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, a suburb of Paris, France, the son of journalists Nicole Zand, a literary critic for Le Monde, and Jacques Amalric, who has worked as a foreign affairs editor for Le Monde and Libération. Amalric's father is French while his mother was born in Poland, to Jewish parents, and moved to France at the outbreak of World War II.
Amalric first gained fame in the film Ma Vie Sexuelle (My Sex Life...or How I Got Into an Argument), for which he won a César Award.
He was selected to play the James Bond villain Dominic Greene alongside Daniel Craig (with whom he had previously starred in Munich) in the 2008 film Quantum of Solace.
