Ulliel's death comes only one day after the teaser for Marvel's "Moon Knight" was released, a new television show starring Ulliel, Oscar Isaac, and Ethan Hawke due to broadcast in March. 17.5 million people have seen the trailer.

Gaspard Ulliel Biography

Ulliel, who was born just outside of Paris in 1984, began acting at the age of 11 and gained international fame for his role as a young Hannibal in 2007's Hannibal Rising.
