German in the middle of the Second World War in BBC's mini seriesLIFE AFTER LIFE. Since that historical period is his specialty, he will also star in Disney's ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE series adaptation as German soldier whose path collides with a blind French teenager. Hugh Laurie and Mark Ruffalo also star. Also arriving sometime this year is MASTERS OF THE AIR series produced by Steven Spielberg, in which he plays an American bomber pilot together with Callum Turner and a massive cast with hundreds of actors. Before all of this, Louis stole our hearts in beautiful coming of age movie CENTRE OF MY WORLD in which he had beautifully graphic gay action with Sisi's emperor Franz Jannick Schumann. 

Jonas Bloquet is 30 years old

This Belgian hunk who is both an actor and a director has caught the attention of period drama lovers first in successful French series adaptation of famous novel GERMINAL, a story about the mid' 19th century miners who are trying to fight for their rights and in which he gave a convincing performance of a man conflicted between loyalty and money. Then we also watched him in period set horror series 1899 that Netflix has recently cancelled and in which he played Lucien. Currently, if you are in USA you are watching his truly delightful work as the Austrian emperor Joseph in the PBS Masterpiece MARIE ANTOINETTEsaga where, beside ruling Austria with his mother Maria Theresa, he is also the brother of the stubborn and daft queen of France.  

National Geographics has released a trailer for new eight part mini series A SMALL LIGHT which arrives May 1st with episodes on Nat Geo weekly

Series starts May 1st on Nat Geo

and full series streaming on Disney and Hulu. It follows the story of 20-something secretary Miep Gies (Bel Powley), who didn’t hesitate when her boss Otto Frank (Liev Schreiber) asked her to hide him and his family from the Nazis during World War II. For the next two years, Miep, her husband Jan (Joe Cole) and several other everyday heroes watched over the eight souls hiding in the secret annex. It was Miep who found Anne’s (Billie Boullet) diary and preserved it so that she and Otto could later share it with the world. The series title comes from something Gies said late in her life: “I don’t like being called a hero because no one should ever think you have to be special to help others. Even an ordinary secretary or a housewife or a teenager can turn on a small light in a dark room.”
