About
Hugo Becker
Native of Metz, Hugo Becker trained at the Cours Florent in Paris and then at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. His first appearance in a short film in 2010 earned him a place in the Jeunes Talents Adami selection at Cannes. He then went on to star in the thrillers "L'Assaut" and "La Proie", as well as the comedy "La croisière".
He then appeared in "Gossip Girl", and his mastery of English enabled him to develop his career internationally. He even made a foray onto Spanish screens in the hit series Bajo Sospecha.
Whether in feature films or series, the actor is also very much at home in the theater, as with "Amadeus", alongside Thierry Frémont, or "Le cas Eduard Einstein", alongside Michel Jonasz at the Comédie des Champs-Elysées.
He interpreted and directed a film adaptation of Bernard-Marie Koltès's play "La nuit juste avant les forêts", shot in a 95-minute sequence.
