Jean Pierre Bergeron  

A name talent in French-speaking Canada, Jean Pierre is now based in Los Angeles, making a successful transition to the American market. His credits include the role of Gil Macor on ALIAS, opposite JENNIFER GARNER, and the comedy FREE MONEY in which he plays MARLON BRANDO's wacky assistant.

In 2004, Jean Pierre will appear in SEE THIS MOVIE, a featured produced by Chris and Paul Weitz (AMERICAN PIE) and directed by DAVID ROSENTHAL, and in the HALLMARK television movies JUST DESSERTS and A BOYFRIEND FOR CHRISTMAS, both directed by KEVIN CONNOR.

Jean Pierre just wrapped PROM QUEEN, yet another television movie due to air in the near future. His other projects include the play I NEVER SANG FOR MY FATHER, by Robert Anderson and HEART AND SOUL, a film project with KEVIN CONNOR.

In French-speaking Canada, Jean Pierre has appeared in over 30 movies, including A PACEMAKER AND A SIDECAR, a classic of Quebec cinema in which he played a mentally retarded guy desperately in love with an older woman. His heartbreaking performance won him kudos worldwide. Jean Pierre has been a regular on 5 television series. In addition, he has worked in the theater everywhere in Montreal including performing in GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS over 3 seasons, to amazing reviews.

Jean Pierre is extremely happy to get mainstream exposure in America and yet at the same time he often makes himself available for script workshops, table reads and shoots of low, very low and very, very low budget independent movies.

"If the script is good, I try to work out the rest. Besides, working with people who are talented and just starting out is a way to invest for later years, when they will be in a position of power."
