As a child, Diane Haziel was a competitive horseback rider and active in school theater, a background that lead her to a small role in the James Ivory film Jefferson in Paris. Subsequently, Stephane Guenin cast her in three short films Iron 5, Gun, and Janus.

Her role of Diane Rays in The 7th Lie is her first starring role in a feature film.

Georges Martin-Censier is a French entertainment attorney with a passion for stage and screen. Prior to The 7th Lie, Georges played Pasteur Morand in The Year of Capricorn produced in Switzerland by Jean-Luc Wey; the Registrar in Christine Questerbert’s The Dark Room; and the owner of the Blue Moon in Thousand Carats, a Remy Waterhouse comedy.

Director Stéphane Guenin cast Mr. Martin-Censier in Iron 5, Gun, and Janus, and in 2001, Stéphane offered him the male lead in his first feature film, the role of the orchestra leader Georges de Rays in The 7th Lie. Georges de Rays is a disturbing, often “border line” character throughout a strange dreamlike story loosely based on “Bluebeard” by Charles Perrault.
