M. Toulon

Denzel Washington

M. Toulon is the French Ambassador of China, who seems to be hard on the outside, but smooth and conscientious on the inside. He promotes Gallimard just when Gallimard thought he was going to be transferred. He seems to really care about his job and wants the best for his country. I chose Denzel Washington to play this character because he plays roles with authority very well. He commands attention on the screen and in real life.
