DuJardin joins a stellar cast that includes Isabella Rossellini, Franco Nero, Terry Moore, Sherilyn Fenn, and Paul Rodriguez, along with Vladislav Kozlov as Valentino, who also directs the picture about Hollywood's first great screen sex symbol.
SILENT LIFE, a hybrid of fiction, documentary and silent cinema, sets out when visionary film director, Paul (DuJardin), seeks to create a documentary about Old Hollywood. What he soon unearths is the untold story of the first Hollywood superstar and male sex symbol, Rudolph Valentino (Kozlov), and the mysterious Lady in Black (Moore), who claims to be the renowned actor's last love. She reveals to Paul the struggles, triumphs, and unfortunate death of her beloved.
DuJardin has worked with Sherilyn Fenn, Franco Nero and director Vladislav Kozlov previously in the dramatic feature, Immortalist, for which he won Best Actor at the 2022 Orlando Film Festival.
Audiences have come to recognize DuJardin for his acclaimed performance as the lead villain, Marquis de Morès, in two seasons of the popular western television series, Elkhorn. The show follows a young Theodore Roosevelt as he journeys west to the Badlands of North Dakota and encounters the French nobleman-turned-cowboy Marquis de Mores, who is attempting to become the first billionaire of the West through cattle ranching and other endeavors.
In August, Elkhorn trended as a top streaming western on Amazon Prime, and for his role in Season 2, DuJardin received Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series by Cowboys & Indians Magazine and was named as one of the greatest TV Screen Villains of All Time by popular entertainment outlet ScreenRant. DuJardin was also proud to represent the series at the Western Heritage Awards in Oklahoma City when it was enshrined in the 2026 Class of the Cowboy Hall of Fame, and as a special guest at the opening of the Teddy Roosevelt Museum in North Dakota.
