He is particularly remembered in his role in the film La Cage aux Folles as Laurent, the son of Renato Baldi (Ugo Tognazzi). He also is remembered in his role as Denis Boucher in the québécois film The Plouffe Family (Les Plouffe) directed by Gilles Carle. He was romantically involved with actress Anne Caudry, who in turn died of HIV in 1991, then married Emöke Masznyik, a young Hungarian dancer and mime.
