Michel Gerard is a fictional character on the television series Gilmore Girls, played by Yanic Truesdale.
Michel is a native of France who attended the École Hôtelière de Genève, one of the finest hospitality schools in the world. He worked as the concierge at the Independence Inn with Lorelai and Sookie, and followed them to the Dragonfly when it opened. He is extremely style- and diet-conscious.
- Michel: A group of scientists did a study on rats where they cut their daily calories by thirty percent.
- Sookie: And you felt left out?
- Michel: No, the rats lived thirty percent longer. And the scientists were so impressed that they cut their own calories just like the rats.
- Sookie: That was a very nice display of solidarity.
- Michel: I have decided to do the same. I figure if I stay alive long enough, these scientists, they will be able to cure anything including death, therefore ensuring my indefinite existence.
- Sookie: So you're gonna live forever, like on Fame?
- Michel: Don't speak to me.
- —Season 2, Ep. 1 "Sadie, Sadie"
