Biography

Noted Quebec-based actor, whose illustrious career spanned an impressive five decades, began with formal training at the prestigious Professional Broadway Workshops under the guidance of renowned instructors Harold Clurman and Sanford Meisner.

Throughout his extensive career, he had the opportunity to work in both the United States and Canada, with notable credits including collaborations with esteemed organizations such as Joseph Papp's NY Shakespeare Festival.

In addition to his work in the United States, he was also a fixture on the Canadian stage, performing with numerous prominent companies, including the Bulldog, National Arts Centre, and Centaur Theatre, Montreal.

Beyond his work as a performer, he was a visionary entrepreneur, co-founding the King's Theatre in Prince Edward Island, the Piggery Theatre, and Playwrights Workshop, providing valuable opportunities for fellow artists and contributing to the growth of the Canadian arts community.

Furthermore, he was a dedicated advocate for the rights and interests of Canadian actors, serving as a founding member of Canadian Actors' Equity and dedicating over 34 years to the governing bodies of both the local and national associations, leaving a lasting legacy in the process.
