Mini Biography

The Rosemont native bio reads like the curriculum vitae of a hyperactive mythomaniac. The multi-faceted Huard is foremost an actor: he has appeared in some 15 feature films including La Vie apres l'Amour, Nez Rouge, Sur le Seuil, Maman Last Call,and Monica la Mitraille. In 2005, he co-starred with Colm Feore in the comedy thriller Bon Cop Bad Cop. On television, he has played several roles - some good guys, some bad guys - even a drag queen! - in series such as Music Hall, Cover Girl, Fortier, and Au Nom de la Loi for Radio-Canada. On stage, he performed in Eric Bogosian's Talk Radio at the Monument National, as well as for television under the direction of Micheline Lanctot. Patrick won the Prix Luce-Guilbeault for his cinema performances in Les Boys and J'en suis. Huard is also a humorist with two one man shows under his belt: 18 ans et plus and Face a Face. He has been invited to a great many number of Galas and tours for the French version of the Just for Laughs Festival. Last century, he even opened for Michel Courtemanche. Huard has some 1,200 stage appearances to his credit, as well as hundreds of thousands of tickets sold in Quebec. The DVD of his Face a Face show remains a best-seller, and he has won 1 Genie Award, 3 Oliviers Awards (Humor Gala Les Olivier), 2 Felix Awards (Gala de l'Adisq) and, in 1992, he drove away with First Prize (a car!) at the Rochefort Festival in Belgium. Patrick Huard is an author in his own right: he has written chronicles for television, stand-ups, and the skits for his own performances, as well as songs for Dan Bigras and Lynda Lemay. He also signs the script for Bon Cop Bad Cop. In addition, Huard is a stage director: he was responsible for the design and stage direction for the opening performance of the 15th FrancoFolies de Montreal in 2003. To boot, he is a host: against his better judgment, Patrick has acted as host for several Juste pour rire Galas, the Adisq Gala, the Jutra, several daily radio programs, as well as a series about humor for Radio-Canada. Compounding the felony, he is a director: 3 video clips (Eric Lapointe and Florent Vollant), a documentary about Client Services for Canal D, besides his first feature film, Les Trois Petits Cochons, in 2006. Patrick Huard is definitely not a singer: even if he has shared the stage (and sung) with luminaries Eric Lapointe and Diane Dufresne! Patrick adores his daughter and enjoys cooking. He is passionate about golf, fashion and cinema. He appreciates women as well as his friends (of both sexes). He has been faithful to his manager for the last 15 years. He is graced with the qualities one finds in people with ambition, and the faults of free-thinking spirits. A simple person, he is not. If he where, how could he have his finger in all these pies he defines as story telling? Finally, he plays the clarinet, but never in public.
