Part-time during my IT career, I accumulated many years of stage experience as a musician, MC, and in a bit of theater. I also made a lot of short videos on my own. After a year of retirement, I decided to start gaining more experience on set.

During my first year as a volunteer (and sometimes paid) actor, I participated in over thirty shoots. Most were student short films, but there were also some more ambitious productions, even a low-budget feature film and two commercials, one of which was for television.

I played a variety of characters, from a jaded reverend to an ex-cop turned hitman, as well as demanding, compassionate, or manipulative fathers, opportunistic or empathetic teachers, a repentant rapist, an awkward elementary school principal, and an antisocial bowler.

In the fall of 2025, I took the Level 3 Performance course at Ateliers Fichaud without needing to take Levels 1 and 2. I also took the Text Analysis course with Danielle Fichaud, and the On-Camera Acting course with Alexandre Dubois from which I published this exercise.
