Rising Star Edouard Philipponnat: “Being able to see yourself and your culture represented and allowing yourself to see through the lens of others is a step towards equality”

It’s extremely important to have diversity represented in film and television. For me, allowing different perspectives is a huge component of diversity. Being able to see yourself and your culture represented and allowing yourself to see through the lens of others is a step towards equality. Diversity is definitely important and for me, perspective is everything. Perspective allows you to see someone or something either openly, or not. I speak several languages, and I’ve always been told that my ability to speak so many is the single greatest gift to have. I absolutely agree. As an actor, to be able to communicate and understand other cultures and traditions is my job and to understand their perspective of the world.
