BIOGRAPHY
Son of Jérôme Kircher and Irène Jacob and brother of Paul Kircher (who plays the main character in Le Lycéen by Christophe Honoré ), Samuel Kircher is above all passionate about contemporary dance. Thus, he joined a specialized class at Yvonne-le-Tac college, in the 18th arrondissement of the capital.

While he was not destined for comedy, Samuel found his first role in the cinema in Last Summer by Catherine Breillat , a drama in which he plays a 17-year-old teenager maintaining a relationship with his father’s partner. The film, presented at Cannes, allows him to star opposite Léa Drucker .

He confides: “I was touched by this character who had no one’s attention. Suddenly there is a hand dealt to him, for the first time he is considered an adult. He counts as someone. And it’s upsetting for him. The hand is withdrawn two days later and this causes real violence for him.”

Originally, Catherine Breillat proposed this character to Paul Kircher. But the filming of the film, which was to take place in 2021, was postponed until the following year for financing reasons. Paul being no longer available, it was he who suggested to the director and producer Saïd Ben Saïd to choose his brother.
