Today, Québec, Canada, and the world lost a GREAT actor.
CTV News- Montreal reminded us that he appeared in about 100 movies (https://shorturl.at/7IZOJ). Of course, his most famous role was that of the funny Elvis Gratton in “Elvis Gratton”, which was directed by the highly talented (and late) Mr. Pierre Falardeau.
Bambi appreciated Mr. Poulin’s talent when she used to watch TV (the last time was over 3 or 4 years ago). In an older post honouring New Brunswick’s late yet great Ms. Viola Léger (shown below), she introduced her readers to the hilarious Elvis Gratton.
Here he is again as her way of paying tribute to Mr. Julien Poulin. The YouTube scene below lasts only 0.45 minute. In it, the cute Elvis Gratton tries to explain what is a “Canadian français” or a “Québécois” to a European tourist on an airplane. It is very complicated :).
Bambi sends her heart to your family, Mr. Poulin. As for you, she will say: “Merci Mounsieur pour votre oeuvre“! Yes, many thanks for your impressive career AND immense talent! Québec (+ Canada) would have surely not been the same without you…
