Interesting sample
The series "Plaque" (France), the actors and roles of which are perfectly matched by the types, is an extraordinary film. The advocates of the law in it are not at all better than intruders, just as sharp, battered by life, hardened, but still they are elegant in French. The producers invited quite famous French actors to the project. And the scriptwriters prescribed roles in “Plaque” to the images of charismatic performers. This publication compiled a "dossier" on the harsh serial guys.
Eddie Kaplan
The film "Plaque", whose actors and roles are known far beyond the borders of France, presents the audience with a gallery of bright characters. One of them is the “good cop” Eddie Kaplan, who lives on a barge with his four-legged friend - a dog. He regards the funeral of Max Rossi, held without appropriate honors to the police, as an insult. After the tragedy, Eddie leads the group, due to his personal interest in investigating the circumstances of the death of a friend, he easily passes the verge of what is permissible, and accordingly, falls out of favor with the higher authorities. Remaining in his soul a decent guardian of the law, he is trying in every possible way to atone for his guilt before his colleagues.
The appearance of Kaplan attracts attention with its black leather jacket. She became a hallmark of the hero, fans have already managed to call her Braquo leather Jacket. By the way, on the Web, fans not only actively discuss the actors and the roles of “Plaque”, but also try to buy or sell “rare” copies used by the heroes during the filming, including Eddie’s black leather jacket.
By the end of the series, Kaplan had already managed to serve time in prison for abuse of authority, return disgraced colleagues to the police, and deal with the clan of the Russian mafia in Paris.
The role of Eddie Kaplan was played by Jean-South Anglad, whose filmography contains the famous projects Nikita, Leon, Queen Margot, Taking Lives, John Adams and Clan Soprano.
Walter Morligem
Morligem is struggling to meet the standards of "honest cop." In the past, a military man, shooting instructor, specialist in explosives and devices is now married and has two children. In his personal life, there is drama - he brings up the kids alone, since the spouse is being treated in a psychiatric clinic. He knows Eddie Kaplan longer than others, the heroes are united by real male friendship, they are mountain for each other. At the same time, Walter is the only one in the team who wanted to give up revenge. His life is complicated by the fact that he owes a decent amount that he lost to the bandits.
A characteristic feature of the character is the appearance of the performer, his brutal bald head. In “Plaque”, the actors and roles correspond to the author’s idea, but the image of Joseph Maleb clearly discords with the character of his character. Morligem is much softer than his colleagues, a loving father and an exemplary family man. Joseph Mahlerb began his creative career with police television series; he took part in the creation of Megre and Commissar Navarro. The list of his creative works includes roles in significant full-length films, for example, Thirteen, Joan of Arc and Leon.
Theo Wachewski
Among the members of the team comes from a wealthy family - the unbalanced and hot-tempered Theo. He is a patron of nightclubs, parties, a smoothie who changes friends like gloves, but the main problem is the addiction to cocaine. Against the background of older colleagues, he looks like a real Hollywood star, and disheveled hair, bruises under the eyes and stubble only add character to the charm. At the end of the first season, like the rest of the team, he loses his job, completely surrenders to the power of the drug. In the future, it seems to settle down, therefore, in “Plaque” (season 2), the actors and roles of the project remain unchanged. What can not be said about the third season, in the final episode, Theo dies at the hands of the enemies of the team.
The image of the youngest of the team embodied on the screen of Nicolas Duvoshel. The actor made his film debut in the movie The Thief, and for the next role in the film Passionate Bodies, he was nominated for the Cesar film award. Currently, the performer is quite in demand, his filmography contains well-known film projects: “Hell”, “White Material”, “I'm Not a Bastard” and others.
Roxane Delgado
After the death of his father, the detachment of police officer Roxanne becomes a family. The girl is very sensitive and has unlimited affection for the team. Like her colleagues, she prefers dark-colored clothing, and leather jackets are also in her wardrobe. The heroine is the only one who after the first season manages to stay to work in the police. When the detachment gathers again, Roxane, without hesitation, enters into its composition. Theo’s death knocks Delgado out of her rut, she wants at all costs to avenge her colleague.
The only woman in the team was played by Carol Rocher. The image of Roxane was a breakthrough in the creative career of the performer. Between the filming of the series, the actress managed to take part in the creation of the film "Poliss", for her role she was nominated for "Cesar". Now Roche continues to act on TV.
Other actors and roles in “Plaque” are secondary in importance, brightness and are unlikely to be remembered by the audience.
