“A Day in the Life” with: Montréal Actor Patrick Emmanuel Abellard

Patrick Emmanuel Abellard shines as bright in real life as he does on our screens, his unforgettable smile and kindness have a heartwarming power!

He was one of my very first clients when I opened my agency eleven years ago. It now feels like we were both babies then, building our careers hand in hand and witnessing each other’s growth over the years. I am very grateful for his trust and ongoingly proud of his achievements.

His undeniable acting talent keeps on seducing French and English directors and producers in movies and television. Over the years he’s embodied a vast array of characters that all make him shine under different lights.

One of the things he loves most about his job is physical acting, which is no surprise to me, as he has always been a big sports and adrenaline lover! When he’s not acting, he’s either training at the gym, skiing on a mountain, or riding his motorbike.

The sky is the limit for Patrick Emmanuel! He has a brilliant future ahead of him and I can’t wait to see where it will take him! Keep shining bright P!

Which ’hood are you in?

I live in the best hood in this whole city. NDG baby.

What do you do?

I’m an actor. I do everything in my field. Theatre, Television, Movies, Video Games, Cartoons, Dubbing, Voice Overlay, Audiobooks. I even do translations.

What are you currently working on?

Working on a lot of voice projects these days that I can’t really speak on. I’m also going on tour with a new play, check here.

Where can we find your work?

I’m in season 2 of Plan B on CBC Gem. For my fellow gamers: if you play the game Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora as the Low voice you’ll be playing as me. And for those of you who enjoy French dubbing, if you watch The Lion King: Mufasa (Canadian French), I lend my voice to Mufasa.
