Nicolas Gob (The best of us): "my character was defined by the prism of his final scene"

The end time has already come for the miniseries The best of us on France 3, this Tuesday, January 10. Nicolas Gob confides in the last shock scene of his character, Achille Salvi.

This Tuesday, January 10, France 3 broadcast the last two episodes of the new police miniseries The best of us (our opinion). The hour of the outcome has arrived, the person responsible for the murder of the darling child of the country has been unmasked, but also his unacknowledged accomplice. In the casting, you found in the main roles Mariama Gueye, alias captain Awa Sissako (who was inspired by a star of the small screen), but also Nicholas Gob, who lends his features to the local policeman Achille Salvi. The latter also confided in the shock final scene of his character.

“It was that final scene that made me want the role.“, confides Nicolas Gob

SPOILER WARNING if you haven’t seen the last episode! In this fiction filmed in the middle of the mountains in winter, you were able to discover this evening the great revealing scene in which Justine Guérin (Elisa Erka of the Comédie-Française) confesses to having killed her brother Abel (Loyan Pons de Vier). But the affair does not end there since, in love with her for a long time, Achille has decided to kill Jean Faure (Bruno Debrandt) to protect her. “It was obviously this final scene that made me want the role.“, Nicolas Gob explained to us. And to add: “It makes me laugh to draw an introverted character and that in the end we see him freaking out. I really like roles that deceive the public. During the fiction, we become attached to the character, and finally… He is touching and creepy, everything you need to make a good questioning cocktail“.

“My whole character was defined by the prism of this scene”

“My character has been defined almost in line with the contemplative rhythm of the setting in which he lives daily. He has a kind of slowness, shyness, something sullen that you don’t quite understand. There was a desire to make him almost strange, by his silence“, told us Nicolas Gob. All this before this famous scene of revelation. “My whole character was defined by the prism of this final scene. I had fun making small things insignificant in weird moments, giving him shifty looks when we just asked him something normal“, completes the actor. All this to lead little by little to the outcome of this character finally capable of murder.
