Actors in the making!
So happy to be reunited with my main man Steeven Laing on a UDA film set today! Some think about their dreams, some realize them. Let’s root for each other and watch each other grow!

Good news: I just signed a contract with a new casting agent. Background extra work officially continues! When people believe & support you, why stop?

This is going to be my last post on Tumblr this year, but I just wanted to share something with you all in case anyone is interested. I’ve dedicated a big part of my life to acting this year and I didn’t want it to go unnoticed.
I’ve compiled a list of all the films, TV series, documentaries and talk shows I’ve participated in since November 2020. Most of these will come out next year or are already out; I didn’t bother to check if I appeared in any of them (you tell me!). If you want the exact number, that’s 37 days of filming for 13 films, 8 TV series, 1 documentary and 1 talk show. It was a fun experience, who knows if I’ll find the time to do more in 2022. I’d love to continue, but I need to find a better balance in my life before I do. If there’s one thing we humans are good at, it’s bouncing back on our feet!
Anyways, here it goes:
- 3 days for the film Moonfall in November 2020 (Background Extra)
- 4 days for the film Misanthrope in February & March 2021 (Background Extra)
- 6 days for the TV series Transplant Season 2 in April, May, June, July & August 2021 (Background Extra)
- 3 days for the TV series Chaos in April 2021 (Background Extra)

I also have an “extra” thing to share (no pun intended): this is a little demo we made in September because I was trying to build a portfolio. Thanks to the gang at Les Adjuvants De La Prod. for the support and hard work. Give them your support by checking them out!
And with that, I’m signing out. Hopefully 2022 will turn out to be a good year. Take care everyone and Happy Holidays!
Cherish every moment that feels real.

Never settle for less than you deserve. Don’t wait for something. The more you wait, the less it will happen. If you have plans to do something, just do it.
Last November, I embarked on a new adventure that is acting. I started this because I was trying to escape from my situation at my previous job. Or maybe I was just tired of living the same old routine every day. I didn’t expect anything from it really. Turns out I had “it.” I was able to get great work. Today, I have reached a personal goal that I never imagined could be possible: I am now officially an ACTRA member.
I worked hard to get opportunities and I still do. Every day I can, I send applications to casting directors. I find my own opportunities, all of them. 8 films, 3 TV series, that’s 23 days of shooting in 10 months! I am proud, but it was not always easy. I learned to accept rejection. I made mistakes, but I also learned from them.
I’ve meet many new people, friends, that I love very much. Funnily enough, acting feels so real. I cherish every moment that feels real because I think we live in a world where a lot of things aren’t very real. This is why I do what I do and I’m not about to stop anytime soon. ️
Last April, I did two days continuity on a Disney film set!
At that time, this marked my 20th day of shooting already this year. I’m now at 40! I’m grateful for every opportunity given to me; I’m living my absolute best life at the moment!

Ouch! Wait a minute, I know a very good hospital where I can get this treated; Thanks doctor! Last March, I was back on set of a popular TV show which is now in its third season. Two days continuity too, I really enjoyed it!

Some weekend ago, I was back in Ottawa! A little day of shooting for a MOW. Fun little role as a “cool” faculty member at a college! We try new things, haha!

A few weekends ago, I had quite a day! A Quebec film shooting in beautiful Quebec City in beautiful Frontenac Castle. It was my very first time inside! Incredible experience!

My appearance in Season 4 Episode 24 of Tournée Générale filmed in Ottawa with guests Mario Pelchat and Geneviève Schmidt.
An episode under the label of the pleasures of the table! Good food and good wine accompanied with great guests! As usual, it’s always a pleasant experience to participate in the show!
Have a great Easter weekend!

Oh Ottawa, how I missed you! Back on a familiar set with familiar faces for their very last episode. Did I ever tell you they’ve invited their ‘favorite’ background for that special occasion? Gratitude!
