Germain Houde
Germain Houde (born December 14, 1952) is a Quebec Genie Award-winning actor. He is predisposed by his physique to playing tough-guy parts; his screen characters have ranged from cruel criminals to corrupt policemen.
A graduate of the Conservatoire d’Art Dramatique de Québec, Houde spent his early years in theatre including time with an experimental troupe in England. His first cinematic role, a courageous one indeed, was in Anne Claire Poirier’s acclaimed A Scream from Silence (Mourir à tue-tête), where he played the vicious rapist. He has won two Genie Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role for his roles in Good Riddance (Les bons débarras)[1] and Night Zoo (Un Zoo la nuit).[2]
His other roles have included the television series Omerta, Les Filles de Caleb, Les Invincibles and Vertige, and the films Prettykill, Terminal City Ricochet, Léolo, Jerome's Secret and 2 Frogs in the West.
