Career
Bowman was an established character actor on television, and his role as Bontemps increased his public profile. It necessitated living in Paris during the three years production of Versailles. He said that he was unregretful the conclusion of the series. "With Bontemps I don't think there was much I would be able to do with him beyond season three...So, for me, it felt right and natural that it was finishing there."
