Vincent Pérez (born June 10, 1962) is a Swiss actor from Lausanne, Switzerland. Of Spanish and German descent, he is the second of three children. He is currently married to Karine Silla, and has four children: daughter Iman, twins Pablo & Inès, and a step-daughter, Roxanne, whose father is Vincent's co-star from Cyrano de Bergerac, Gérard Depardieu.
At age eighteen he left Switzerland for France. Before studying acting, he considered a career as an artist. But eventually commenced acting studies in Geneva, followed by the Paris Conservatoire, and completed his training at L'École des Amandiers in Nanterre.
He plays the equivalent role of Vincent D'Onofrio's Detective Robert "Bobby" Goren in a French remake of Law & Order: Criminal Intent on TF1. [Paris Enquêtes Criminelles] (Paris Criminal Section) stars Perez as Lieutenant Vincent Revel. His partner is Lieutenant Claire Savigny, played by Sandrine Rigaux, and their boss is Commissaire Bonnefoy played by Jacques Pater. The show has become one of the biggest hits on TF1 and a crossover was planned for April 2007, but has yet to happen.
