Re-enter Gilles Marini: mystery man returns to Brothers & Sisters

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Oo la la. The mystery Frenchman glimpsed at the end of Brothers & Sisters’s last episode was none other than Gilles Marini, who returns to the dall, dark and handsome role of Luc Laurent.

Sarah, Rachel Griffith’s character, is seen in a rustic setting somewhere in France, while a major drama or two is unfolding back at the family fort in California.

Calista Flockhart’s character has cancer, and long-lost siblings are tipping off strangers to company secrets, while the gay couple in the show are desperately wondering whether to adopt.

Enter Marini, who told TV Guide.com: “We meet again! And it’s like everything she tried to fight before is staring at her right in the face. Even though she’s with Roy [Jay Karnes], she falls [for Luc] again because she’s still madly, madly in love with him.”

Laurent, a painter, had earlier left for France after he and Sarah fought about his carefree lifestyle and lack of direction. He now has a job.

Marini said: “He’s working. He’s showing her that he’s serious and is here to win her back because Luc believes with all his heart that they’re meant for each other. The story between Sarah and Luc is very simple: It’s an old-fashioned love story. There’s nothing under it except pure love for each other. That’s what I like, and I think that’s why audiences like it. It’s very clear and our hearts are very pure for each other. Lately on TV, I’ve been seeing a lot of unfortunate love stories, so I like that we’re portraying something pure and beautiful.”

Actor Gilles Marini will cover up his taut and toned body in a Playboy magazine photospread.

Marini, who has drawn attention for his role in the 2008 Sex And The City movie, will pose in suits by Tom Ford, Bottega Veneta and Ermenegildo Zegna and act like a cad.

He will behave terribly toward women in a shoot that has been inspired by the movie Room Service.

Marini will appear in a cut-out scene that mimicks oral sex in an elevator and in another scene trying to force scantily clad women to change a tyre on his sports car. In another, he will try to balance a cocktail on the forehead of a woman kneeling at a pool.

Marini, 33, has been making appearances as Luc in Brothers & Sisters and on Nip/Tuck.
