About me

View profile
I began my stage career after studying theater in 1985. Early on, I made a name for myself as an actor, storyteller, and host in the school matinees of the Orchestre symphonique de Québec. Passionate about improvisation, I refined my craft at the Gotham Comedy Club and the Magnet Theatre in New York.
While the stage remains a place where I find immense joy, television has brought me significant recognition. My recurring role as Mario Bastarache, a sharp-witted detective in the series Sorcières (TVA), has given me great visibility. I have also appeared in several major series, including Virage: Double faute, Les Mecs, and Plan B: Season 3.
On stage, my performance in Une heure de tranquillité (2022) drew considerable attention. I also remain an active member of improvisation troupes performing regularly in Quebec.
In film, I’ve had the opportunity to appear in Le temps d’un été, Arsenault & fils, and Largo Winch 3.
Among my most memorable experiences, I fondly recall playing Gérard in Jusqu’à la lie by Amélie Bergeron, which won the Coup de cœur award at the Festival de théâtre de L’Assomption in 2013. In 2015, I participated in a film project in Ireland during my residency at Owenglin River: Clifden Artists Residency.
In April 2021, during the pandemic, I launched a fiction podcast, Vrai de vrai, j’te l’jure, inspired by popular investigative podcasts.
At the same time, I have also been involved in education. Until recently, I was a drama teacher in Quebec and a pedagogical advisor for the International Baccalaureate (IB) in The Hague.
