Youssef Kerkour
Ridley Scott's Napoleon returns to The Mighty Dragon with another great interview.
This week, I am speaking to Napoleon's right-hand man, Marshal Davout. Or should I say Youssef Kerkour who portrayed this infamous soldier otherwise known as The Iron Marshal. Davout himself was a highly acclaimed general, being present at most of Napoleon's battles. Devoted, driven, and resilient, I can't help but think Youssef was the right actor to portray him, as he has these qualities himself.
Napoleon isn't the first time Youssef has worked with legendary director, Ridley Scott. He was also in House of Gucci, portraying Nemir Kirdar. We talk about Ridley Scott's style of working, as well as Youssef's preparation for his roles.
I am convinced that Youssef is the most prepared actor on set, cleverly adopting psychological practices to immerse himself in the role. His British and Moroccan heritage has given him access to many great parts, but we talk about how he "niched down" on his Arab heritage to gain even more exposure.
