Julien Heron was born in Chartres, France to Colette Guérin, and Georges Heron. After his father passed away when Julien was 18 months old, his mother sought other avenues of support for her son. At age 6 she brought him to his first theater class and from that point forward the theater became his new family.

At age 10 Julien debuted as a child king in Avignon Festival and a few years later, inspired by traveling in South America with his mother and the people he met, he created the Etoile de Cirque - a circus school for street children in Cachoeirinha, Brazil. At 18 Julien created a show called Les Violinistes, which received great reviews at the Aurillac Street Theater Festival and took it on tour for a year throughout Europe. At 20 he joined the Bouglione Circus in Paris where he created a unique and exciting clown performance.

After receiving his BA in Literature at the Sorbonne, Julien trained with the Clément Acting studio. Today he continues to study acting with the Ivana Chubbuck studio in Los Angeles.

On tour in the U.S., Julien performed with a Cabaret troupe that specialized in live performance at venues like the Magic Castle in Hollywood. Julien also had the opportunity to perform for Michael Jackson, Jay Leno and Ellen DeGeneres. He continues to perform occasionally at the Magic Castle to this day.

Julien's stuntman credits include Rush Hour 3 and Jimmy Kimmel Live. He is also credited with voiceover work on Ridley Scott's Robin Hood, Marc Forster's Stranger Than Fiction and Robert Zemeckis' The Walk. Theater credits include Landscape with Argonauts, directed by Ibrahim Quaraishi in Mannheim, Tokyo and New York.
