Léonard Jeandel

In Jeux de glaces, the TV film adaptation of Agatha Christie's They do it with Mirrors by France Télévisions, Léonard Jeandel is an inmate of "La Main Tendue", the rehabilitation centre run by Etienne Bousquet (the Lewis Serrocold parallel) and his wife. He is the parallel of Edgar Lawson in the original novel. Léonard Jeandel is portrayed by Vincent Londez.

Léonard's role is quite similar to the original novel. He is manipulated into confronting Etienne Bousquet in his study, thus setting up the cover for the murder. Like Edgar, Léonard also has delusions and he tells Alice that he is actually the son of the French president. During the "confrontation" with Etienne, Léonard's tirade includes words to the effect that "I am your son" but this never becomes a plot point and this claim is never affirmed or disconfirmed.

In this adaptation, Léonard does not die while attempting to escape from the police. He is actually killed by Etienne because of concerns that he would talk. Alice (in a plot device that would be common in the series) discovers his body hung up in a barn. At first it looks like he hanged himself but commissaire Laurence, on closer examination, finds strangulation marks, indicating that he was murdered.

Note that the credits give Léonard's lastname as "Jeandel". However on Laurence's chalkboard, his lastname is written as "Jandelle".
