The actor must be comfortable with physical comedy, and the role requires strong character acting.

Kindly, gentle, enthusiastic and inventive, he becomes singleminded and determined when Belle faces danger. Must have comedic timing. BABETTE: Saucy, enchanted featherduster, and the object of Lumiere's affections. This role requires good character acting. This character speaks with a French accent.
