Pierre Niney
Pierre Niney (born 13 March 1989) is a French actor. He made his acting debut in the two-part miniseries La dame d'Izieu in 2007, followed by films such as LOL (Lots of Lough) (2008), The Army of Crime (2009), Romantics Anonymous (2010), and Just Like Brothers (2012). In 2014, Niney starred as fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent in a biopic, for which he won a César Award for Best Actor. He also co-created, co-wrote and starred in Netflix's Fiasco (2024), and was Edmond Dantès in The Count of Monte Cristo (2024). Niney was born in Boulogne-Billancourt, Hauts-de-Seine, France. His family is of Sephardic Jewish (Turkish-Jewish) and Catholic background. His father, François Niney, is a film professor at Normale Sup, La Fémis and Sciences Po. His mother was born in Belgium and is an author of creative leisure manuals. Niney studied at the French drama school Cours Florent in 2007. He made his acting debut in the two-part television miniseries La dame d'Izieu in 2007, followed by films such as LOL (Laughing Out Loud), The Army of Crime, Romantics Anonymous and Comme des frères. In October 2010, at age 21, Niney became the youngest member of the Comédie-Française. In 2014, Niney starred as fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent in the biopic of the same name directed by Jalil Lespert, for which he won a César Award for Best Actor. This role marked his first portrayal of an openly gay character and earned him widespread critical acclaim. In 2024, Niney portrayed Edmond Dantès in the film The Count of Monte Cristo, and also starred in Fiasco, a 7-episode comedy miniseries that he co-created and co-wrote with Igor Gotesman for Netflix. Late that year it was announced that Niney will be re-collaborating with the team from The Count of Monte Cristo for an ambitious new adaptation of Maurice Druon’s The Accursed Kings novels. The series takes place during the 14th century succession crisis among the Capetian dynasty but Niney’s role was not disclosed upon announcement. Since 2008, Niney has been in a relationship with Australian actress and photographer Natasha Andrews, with whom he has two daughters, born in 2017 and 2019.
