Benjamin Voisin

Benjamin Voisin is a French actor whose career has quickly risen since his debut in 2015, earning critical praise for his nuanced performances across film, television and theatre. Born on 14 December 1996 in Paris, he grew up in the 16th arrondissement where he attended Lycée Claude‑Bernard, a school known for its rigorous academic environment. His father, Marc Voisin, teaches at the prestigious Cours Florent, and his mother works as an accountant, a background that offered him early exposure to the performing arts and a stable family foundation. In 2011, Voisin enrolled in the youth workshops at Cours Florent, where he spent three years developing his craft before being accepted into the school’s full acting programme in his second year. After passing a competitive entrance exam in 2016, he secured a place at the Conservatoire national supérieur d’art dramatique in 2017, where he refined his technique under the guidance of France’s leading theatre educators. Voisin’s breakout screen role came with the 2020 drama Summer of 85, in which he portrayed the troubled teenager David Gorman; his performance garnered a Lumière Award for Best Male Revelation (shared with co‑star Félix Lefebvre) and a nomination for the César Award for Most Promising Actor, cementing his status as a rising star. Since then, he has appeared in a variety of cinematic projects, television series and stage productions, consistently demonstrating a versatile range that oscillates between intense emotional depth and subtle, restrained expression. Critics frequently note his ability to convey complex inner worlds with minimal dialogue, a skill attributed to his rigorous classical training. Off‑screen, Voisin remains relatively private, focusing on his artistic pursuits and continuing to develop his repertoire within both French‑language and international contexts. His ongoing commitment to the craft suggests a promising trajectory that will likely see him expand into larger, possibly global, productions in the years ahead.
