LOS ANGELES, CALIF. -- Showtime’s “The Borgias” roars back with a real vengeance on Sunday, and returning as Cesare Borgias, actor Francois Arnaud is stepping into focus.
Last season, the Montreal-bred actor played sidekick to Jeremy Irons’ Pope Alexander. This season, though, the rising star takes Cesare – the Pope’s loyal son, willing to plot and poison for his father — into dark vigilante territory, with a swashbuckling flare.
Being bad is definitely good in this case and makes the Season 2 return on Sunday at 10 PM a much watch. He’s appeared across television and film in his native Canada, but stateside, “The Borgias” has become Francois’ breakout role, as he brings a complexity and dare we say it – a sort of sympathy – to the conflicted bad boy who inspired Machiavelli’s “The Prince.”
