Sexy Roy Dupuis plays Alexis Labranche, and cute Karine Vanasse has landed the role of the gentle Donalda in Séraphin, the movie which Charles Binamé starts shooting on 10th September 2001.
We now know that the excellent Pierre Lebeau will be trying to convince us of his miserliness in the part of the horrible Séraphin Poudrier, but up until this moment it’s been a closely guarded secret that Benoit Brière has inherited the character of Jambe de Bois (Peg Leg), that Rémy Girard will play old Lalogue and Robert Brouillette will be Bidou. Normand Chouinard will don the cassock for the role of Father Labelle.
The character of Séraphin Poudrier has previously been heard on radio and seen on the big screen when Hector Charland portrayed the miser in Un homme et son péché (lit. A Man and his Sin, or One Man’s Sin). On the small screen it was Jean-Pierre Masson who fed the beautiful Donalda (Andrée Champagne) on buckwheat pancakes in Les Belles Histoires des Pays-d’en-Haut (Tales of the Highlands), Claude-Henri Grignon’s historical panorama (1956 – 70 excluding repeats)
After making all Quebec swoon over his character Ovila in Les Filles de Caleb, Roy Dupuis finds himself in the role of Donalda’s prince charming in the new Séraphin, Alexis Labranche, previously played by Guy Provost. There were few sensual scenes in Un homme et son péché and Les Belles Histoires des Pays-d’en-Haut but when you have the likes of Roy Dupuis and Karine Vanasse under the lens …. We hear there will be at least one scene that will make all the female viewers in Quebec tremble – one of the lovers will have a dream fantasy.
Apart from being in Les Filles de Caleb, Roy Dupuis has had several hits to his credit – Nikita, Maurice Richard, Million Dollar Babies and Scoop, not forgetting stage plays and several feature films. For the moment, apart from Séraphin which begins filming towards the middle of September, the 38 year-old actor will also be in Le Dernier Chapitre (The Last Chapter), the bilingual series about bikers that SRC and CBC will broadcast next year.
Lovely young Karine Vanasse, only 17, has demonstrated her talents on the big screen in, amongst others, Emporte-moi (Take Me) and, more recently in the TV series 2 Frères (Two Brothers). Without a doubt she will be a credible Donalda, sweet and submissive first to her father, then to her despicable husband.
