Niane was born in Paris in 1966 and has worked on a number of various television projects and film roles.

He was best known for his role as assassin and ex-convict Leonard Kone in Lupin, which is based on the novels by France's Maurice LeBlanc, who created the character in 1905.
Lupin became the first French series to land on Netflix's Top 10 list, ranking No. 1 in the likes of Brazil, Vietnam, Argentina, Germany, Italy, Spain and Poland to name just a few.

The show's concept has been adapted and developed across film and television over the years.
An animated version of the show has also been released.
Assane was the only son of an immigrant from Senegal, who was framed for stealing a diamond necklace from his employer, Hubert Pellegrini (Herve Pierre).
He is sent to prison, where he kills himself out of shame, leaving Lupin an orphan.
