Fabrice is an actor originally from Zaire (Congo).
He was raised in Braine-l'Alleud, a suburb of Brussels, Belgium. Initially, he planned to study business and spent four years at the renowned Solvay Business School in Brussels before switching to drama at IAD (Institute of the Arts and Broadcasting). He joined the Master's School founded by Franco Quadri, where he met Lithuanian director Eimuntas Nekrošius and Jacques Lassalle. He was awarded the top prize from the Academy of Liège alongside Russian director Boris Rabei.
Fabrice then relocated to Paris after receiving a bursary for his first contract with Luc Besson and Patrice Leconte. He starred in "Aun" and "Carlo," the first two films by Mickael Roskam (director of the Academy Award-nominated "Bullhead"). He also worked with Guy Goossens, Jan Verheyen, and Dan Cooreman (director of the acclaimed Cannes short “The Professionals”). On television, he appeared in "FBI," "Closer Protection," and "The Stenfort Fate," and is well known for his role as Mickey, the gay barman in the RTBF series "Melting Pot Café," which ran for three seasons. He has also been directed by Eimuntas Nekrošius (notably in "The Seagull" at the Venice Biennale), Olivier Py, Frédéric Dussenne, and Boris Rabey.
In the film "The Expatriate," directed by Philipp Stölzl alongside Aaron Eckhart (known for "Batman," "Notting Hill," "Little Rabbit"), Fabrice played Karim. He has simultaneously pursued diverse projects in both cinema and theatre in Paris. He maintains strong ties to Belgian cinema, hoping to collaborate with filmmakers such as Geoffrey Enthoven, B. Mariage, Bouli Lanners, Masset de Passe, Dorothée Vandenberghe, and Felix Vangroningen.
Fabrice has also worked as a dancer and writer in contemporary dance productions in Canada and performed as a soloist in musicals in France, including "Les Misérables," "Cats," and "Mayflower." He organized the "Freezing" event in Belgium, involving 1,500 participants, and won the Best Movie award in Los Angeles, judged in part by Wim Wenders. He was Emmy-nominated for the series "Melting Pot Café," which also received the Artistic Contribution award at the La Rochelle Film Festival in France. Driven by challenges, Fabrice is an accomplished marathon runner in his category and aims to break his personal record and place in the top 20 out of 45,000 runners at the Berlin Marathon, targeting a finish time of 2:35 for the 42.195 km distance. He is also set to compete in the World Games in France in 2015.
