Actor and writer Bernard Robichaud was born in Boston and now resides in Canada. He grew up playing hockey and basketball and is an avid golfer. He started his career as a model when he was 18 years old and had a lot of success for 3 years until 1981 when he met an agent in Toronto, Ont. who told him he was missing his calling and he should consider becoming an actor. On that advice he applied and was accepted to Dalhousie University in 1982 and studied in their Theatre Arts program. Soon afterward his voice coach Dorothy Ward (Stratford Festival, George Brown University) suggested he was wasting his time because of his natural ability to perform and offered her time and private tutelage which he took over the next 4 years. She was instrumental in getting him a position at Neptune Theatre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, as a production assistant, working closely with award winning director Tom Kerr. In 1984 he was hired by Sudsy Clarke, to voice the characters in “In Becky’s Name”, a CBC radio drama. Bernard played both the roles of Robert and Becky. Award winning playwright Kent Stetson wrote to ACTRA on behalf of Bernard believing that anyone who could play a man and women on radio in their first professional performance deserved to be given their professional status. Bernard wrote his play Kitchen Sports in 1995, which portrays his life at home with his alcoholic father and was received with rave reviews. Spanning a career of 25 years Bernard has had numerous television and film credits and has worked with such Hollywood icons as James Caan and Kathy Bates. His most recent credits include the Trailer Park Boys 2008 Special and the new Trailer Park Boys feature film.

Bernard is proud of his work in Blue Seduction, with Billy Zane and Estella Warren where he plays the role of Stanley Miles, Zane’s close personal friend. Look for Bernard in the soon to be released film, American Sunset where he co-stars with Corey Haim playing the roles of Bob Ferlan and the Bounty Hunter.
