Gilbert Sicotte

A veteran actor in his native Canada, Gilbert Sicotte consistently delivered compelling and earnest performances both on the small and big screens. He was born on Feb. 18, 1948 in Montréal, Québec, Canada. Acting since the early 1970s, Sicotte appeared in countless films such as "Ti-Cul Tougas" (1976), "Les grands enfants" (1980) and "Contrecoeur" (1983). In the next few decades, Sicotte remained very much in-demand, whether he was narrating films like "Les illusions tranquilles" (1984) or starring in the documentary "Le million tout-puissant" (1985). Sicotte delivered a critically acclaimed performance in Michael Langlois' psychosexual drama "Cap Tourmente" (1993), as a man who unexpectedly arrives at a bed-and-breakfast and disrupts the lives of the family who runs it. That same year, Sicotte received rave reviews for his role in "Les pots cassés." Aside from films, he also appeared on Canadian television, including the popular miniseries "Marguerite Volant" (Radio-Canada, 1996) and the crime drama "Fortier" (TVA, 2001-04). While Sicotte tackled mostly serious roles, he also appeared in comedies like "Continental, un film sans fusil" (2007), as one of four unhappy individuals whose lives intertwine after the disappearance of a man who has wandered into a forest. Sicotte delivered one of his most memorable performances in the 2011 drama "Le vendeur," as a longtime car salesman nearing the end of his career who became successful for telling his customers tall tales. In 2012, he joined the cast of the medical drama "Trauma" (Radio-Canada, 2010- ).
