Bernard Robichaud (Bernie) : Actor / Writer ( ACTRA, SAG,
SAG Eligible, WGA )
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.
Bernard is currently working on his screenplay Kitchen Sports
which is an adaptation of his 1995 play of the same name set
to go to camera in 2010. You can see Bernard perform on tour
