The actor is recognized in Quebec for having played one of the main characters in the children's series Le chalet, broadcast on VRAK from 2015 to 2019. Catherine Brunet, his former playing partner, congratulated him on Instagram today. The actor has also been seen in Demain des hommes, Cerebrum, Big Brother Celebrities and, more recently, in the Xavier series Dolan, The Night Laurier Gaudreault Woke Up.
