Cecile Cassel was born June 25th, 1982, to an already famous family. Her father, Jean-Pierre Cassel, was recognized as a talented actor, and his son Vincent Cassel, later took up the same career path. From a young age, Cecile knew she wanted to become an actress. Determined to make a mark on her own terms, she enrolled in a course for dramatic arts at Compagnie des Sales Gosses. In 2000, aged 18, and having finished the course, she made her first debut on the TV show "Le grand Patron".

Her big screen debut would come in 2002 with "Vivante", alongside Vahina Giocante. Thereafter, she has enrolled projects like "La bande du drugstore", "Jerusalem" or Eric Rohmer`s "Les Amours d`Astree et de Celadon" which was chosen by the french cinema focused magazine `Les Cahiers du cinema` as one of the 10 best pictures of 2007.

Her almost perfect english has allowed her to take part on some american projects such as the very last episode of the famous TV show "Sex and the City" playing the Parisian daughter of Carrie`s (Sarah Jessica Parker) Russian love-interest or the 2004 Romance/Drama "Head in the Clouds" alongside Charlize Theron and Penelope Cruz.
