The Animal Kingdom: Who Is Part of The Cast
For the main cast, we got Romain Duris as François Marindaze, Paul Kircher as Émile Marindaze and Adèle Exarchopoulos as Julia Izquierdo. Paul Kircher just started as an actor in 2020. So, it's for sure great to see what else he got to offer in another movie.
On the other hand, the other two actors have starred in a few more movies. Adèle Exarchopoulos is known for the film Blue Is The Warmest Color meanwhile you could know Romain Duris from the movie The Beat My Heart Skipped .
