Sébastien Houbani

Following culinary school, Sébastien Houbani, a native of the Parisian suburbs, worked as a chef for several Michelin-starred restaurants while simultaneously cultivating a passion for acting - one that soon lead him to enroll in drama classes.

His film career began with roles in several shorts including La tête froide by Nicolas Mesdom, which earned him the ADMI award for Best Actor at the Festival de Clermont-Ferrand as well as the Swann for Best Actor at the Festival de Cabourg. After landing his first feature-length film role in Juliette by Pierre Godeau, he went on to work with directors Tony Gatlif (Geronimo), Kheiron (All Three of Us) and Lidia Terki (Paris la blanche).

After A Wedding (Noces), Thierry Klifa offered Sébastien the role of Karim in Tout nous sépare opposite Catherine Deneuve, Diane Kruger, Nicolas Duvauchelle and Nekfeu. Their collaboration then carried over to the stage where Thierry Klifa directed Sébastien alongside Fanny Ardant in the light comedy Croque-Monsieur.
