What attracted you to this series?
I’m a huge fan of crime stories and thrillers! When there’s a serial killer, I’m usually happy. And I really liked the role! I had played cops before, but this one had a slightly more serious and academic side, which appealed to me.
We feel your character, Inspector Fauvel, considerate with his team, in particular with Amelia (Tiphaine Daviot)…
I don’t know if he’s considerate with his whole team, maybe it’s especially with Amélia. He begins to become friends with her, and maybe even a little more. We will perhaps know that in season 2… But above all he is very invested in his work.

Super good! I had already seen Tiphaine in several projects and I always found her admirable. We got along very quickly. She is professional and easy to get along with. Eric is something all the same… He’s quite a big name, a legend all over the world! But he is very simple, authentic, generous, friendly, very funny, charismatic and imposing! I didn’t expect him to be like that, physically. I also told him that I thought he was smaller. He thought for a second and told me that maybe it was my TV that was too small (laughs)! Already, I called him Mr. Cantona at the start. One of the first things he said to me was, “You’re going to call me Eric because…
