My Take
Rémy Girard is exactly the kind of actor I admire most: a true homegrown craftsman. A son of Jonquière in Quebec and a Laval University graduate, he has worked the full range from stage to film to television and even hosting. His honours speak volumes, an Academy of Canadian Cinema award, Officer of the Order of Canada, and the 2024 Prix Denise-Pelletier. To me he embodies French-Canadian theatre culture, an artist beloved at home who built a career on substance rather than celebrity. I would happily watch him in anything; performers with that depth and warmth are the ones who truly carry a national cinema.
