French Black Actress Mickaelle X. Bizet Joins Regina King in ‘American Crime’ (WATCH)

*During a screening and conversation with the cast and creatives of “American Crime” on March 1, 2017 in Beverly Hills, I couldn’t take my eyes of this beautiful French black actress strolling across the purple carpet at the PaleyLive LA.

Her name is Mickaëlle X. Bizet.

New to the scene, she joins the influx of deep brown beauties on the silver screen. Think about it. New comers on “Underground,” “Shots Fired,” “24” … their melanin is “poppin” and I’m loving every minute of it!

During my interview with Mickaëlle, she discussed the eerie way this role found itself knocking on her door.  Her character, Gabrielle Durand, has a storyline of a foreign woman who travels to the US as a nanny in hopes of the American Dream so many desire. One slight difference, she is French, her character is Haitian. Her acting is so natural, settled and rich.  EURweb could have just discovered the next Viola Davis! Hey, you never know…remember the uncanny connection to the role?

She admitted that she is blessed to lock such a great show like “American Crime.”  After a small French tutorial, Bizet gives advice to all the black women out there who have dreams.  Take a look above!

The talented ensemble cast has returning and cast members including Felicity Huffman, Connor Jessup, Richard Cabral, Benito Martinez, Ana Mulvoy-Ten and Mickaëlle X. Bizet that will portray how people from various backgrounds approach and react to crime.
