Lambert Nicolas Wilson, often known as Lambert Wilson, is a versatile French actor known globally for his exceptional portrayal of The Merovingian in The Matrix film series starting with The Matrix Reloaded. Born on August 3, 1958, Wilson had a passion for being an 'American actor' and a bit indifference towards French theatre in his teenage. His journey in acting began at the Drama Centre London, the place where he learned English. Interestingly, his first movie role was portrayed in the 1977 American film 'Julia,' directed by Fred Zinnemann. However, his real fame was found in his native land during the 1980s, where he became extremely popular among French audiences with his appearances in successful films including 'La Boum 2,' 'The Public Woman,' and 'Rendez-vous.' Besides acting, he's known for his musical theatre stints and his passion for safeguarding the environment.
Wilson's screen career hit a road bump with a series of box-office failures, such as 'The Possessed' and 'El Dorado.' Nevertheless, he incredibly bounced back into the limelight with successful comedies like 'Same Old Song' (1997) and 'Jet Set' (2000). Many remember him for his captivating role as The Merovingian in The Matrix series (2002, 2003). Despite being fluent in English, his strong French accent in the film is fabricated for the role. The later part of his career saw him mastering ceremonies at the Cannes Film Festival during 2014-2015 and even his noble endeavors in assisting the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO). In 2021, he reprised his role as The Merovingian from The Matrix franchise in The Matrix Resurrections.
