François Godin is a Canadian actor and playwright from Quebec,[1] most noted as a two-time Governor General's Award nominee for French-language drama.
As an actor, he had early roles in the first touring production of Lilies (Les Feluettes) and the Montreal production of Les Misérables.[2] He appeared in Une soirée avec Jacques Brel for the Théâtre français de Toronto in 1993,[2] for which he received a Dora Mavor Moore Award nomination for Best Leading Actor, Musical Theatre.[3] He wrote various radio dramas before premiering his first theatrical play, Il n’y a nulle part en Amérique, in 1994,[2] and continued to work principally as a musical theatre actor until premiering Louisiane Nord in 2004.[1]
Louisiane Nord was a Governor General's Award nominee at the 2005 Governor General's Awards.[4]
His third play, Je suis d'un would be pays, followed in 2007,[5] and received Godin's second GG nomination at the 2009 Governor General's Awards.[6]
He is a graduate of the Conservatoire d'art dramatique de Montréal.[7]
