About Me

I'm an actor/director who opened a theatre company (Productions ACV) in 2004. We recently opened our website, "www.productionsacv.com" (check it out!!!). I made the choice of living my life through my passions. So I do what I like, when I like and more importantly, the way I like. I'm curently in pre-production of my second upcoming show, a french theatre adaptation of the movie "Two girls and a guy" by James Toback, the first one being a french adaptation I did of "Seascape with sharks and dancer" by Don Nigro. My past experiences include graduating from theatre school at John Abbott College, some theatre tour, here in Quebec, and some appearences on TV and in short films. I even had the opportunity of being in a show presented at "Le Festival de Théâtre d'Avignon" in France. Some of my most marking performance was "le Marquis" in Molière's "La critique de l'école des femmes", "Tim" in the Eric Bogosian's play "SubUrbia", and "Sam" in the short film "Camshot" by Nicolas Gauthier, which won the public prize and a special mention from the judge in a short film festival of Montreal.MySpace Codes

My Interests

My daughter Chloé, my love Sonya, theatre, cinema, cooking, reading, horseback riding, every water sports, rollerblading, skiing, singing and playing guitare, painting, dancing (salsa, tango, bachata)... LIFE!!!

I'd like to meet:

Bono!!! I would actually want to do a duet with him on "With or without you". The Dalai-Lama. To have philosophical conversations on life. Drew Barrymore. I want to cast her as Tracy in a movie adaptation of "Seascape with sharks and dancer". Bianca Beauchamp (even though my girlfriend would kill me). Those who know who she is will understand...

Music:

U2!!! (Obviously...) But I like all musical style. From rock to classic. From tango to hip hop, etc... What I'm curently listening in my car : James Blunt, Michael Bubblé, Damien Rice, Dany Bédar and Mes Aieux (québécois or if you prefer french canadians), Zachary Richard (french acadian from louisiana), GoTan Project, Matchbox 20, Black Eyed Peas, The Williams Brothers, DJ Champion, Dixie Chicks, Doba Caracol... (Told you I was listening to everything;) )

Movies:

The Matrix trilogy, Crash, Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, Wicker park, The Notebook, The red curtain trilogy (Strictly Ballroom, Romeo & Juliette, Moulin Rouge), Horloge biologique, Québec-Montréal, La turbulence des fluides, Les invasions Barbares, Les Aimants, Cyrano de Bergerac, Butterfly effect, 50 first dates, Vanilla Sky, Zoolander, Big Fish... to name only a few.

Television:

Being quite busy working, I don't have much time for it right now. But I can't miss "Smallville", "Prison break", "Les Invincibles" and "François en série" (2 amazing quebec tv shows. By the way, I'll be appearing in season 2 of the later). I also watched "Les Bougon" since I've been in it and "Minuit le soir" which depicts what it's like to work in bars. I also like "So you think you can dance".

Books:

Those are books that changed my life: "La vie des maitres" by Baird T. Spalding (a must read), "Les masques tombent" from Pierre Morency, Alexandre Jardin's "L'ÃŽle des gauchers" (actually all of his books), Northrop Frye's "The great code", Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman's "Dragonlance" serie, The legend of Tristan & Isolde, theatre scripts (especially everything from William Shakespeare or Eric Bogosian), Freud's and Jung's psychology theory, Socrate's and Platon's philosophy...

Heroes:

Yes, I know... I suck up to Bono but honestly... Anyone who tries to make a better world is, to my point of view, a hero and deserve our greatest respect. (N.B. To try to make a better world for me, means to try to be a better person ourselves, not FORCING everyone else to be like us (Right, Mr. President?))
