Actor: Jean Reno

Jean Reno appeared in five Luc Besson films, and Léon gives him a hitman who drinks milk, waters a plant and cannot read, which is a strange combination that works entirely.

The Big Blue and Nikita preceded it, and Mission: Impossible and Ronin gave him international work.

He was born in Morocco to Spanish parents and works in French, Spanish, English and Italian. Godzilla cast him as a French agent, which is one of the few things people remember about that film.
