Montreal comedian Jacques Galipeau, who has especially distinguished himself in supporting roles in theater and television, notably in the soap opera Laurier, died in hospital during the night from Saturday to Sunday, at the age of 96. .

Jacques Galipeau was born September 23, 1923. A few years before the Quiet Revolution, the actor spent six years in Paris to perfect his art. As soon as he returned to Quebec, he played roles in the theater and on the small screen and became very active; he has been seen in many popular soap operas, such as Marie-Didace.

In the 1950s, he also hit the stage in Les Fous de Dieu, by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, staged by Catherine Toth, at the Théâtre des Noctambules.

It was also in the theater, within the Compagnie du Masque led by Fernand Doré and his wife Charlotte Boisjoli, that Jacques Galipeau met the singer-songwriter and actress Pauline Julien, whom he married in 1950. They have two children, Pascale and Nicolas.

In 1953, he was nominated for the Gérard Leblanc Prize. Then, he shares the poster with Béatrice Picard in the television series Le Survenant, where he plays Octavien.

In the series Les belles heures des pays d'en haut, he plays the great Clophas alongside Denise Filiatrault and Jacques Godin, among others.

It is also part of the play Double jeu, one of André Brassard's first productions.

Jacques Galipeau experienced the golden age of radio theater. He lent his voice to the play Rêve d'une nuit d'hôpital, broadcast on Radio-Canada, where it was often produced.

At the end of the 1970s, he was part of the cast of Medium bleeding, a play on linguistic clashes in Quebec.

His last roles date back to the early 2000s; the actor then joined the cast of the film La turbulence des fluides by Manon Briand.
