Your new movie Montréal Girls - in a few words, what is it about, and what can you tell us about your character in it?

 

Montréal Girls is a movie about a young man discovering himself. Phénix, my character, is a talented, but tormented and self-centered dark poet from the Montréal underground scene. When we first meet Ramy, the protagonist, he is impressed by my character and constantly seeks approval from him.

 

What did you draw upon to bring your character to life, and how much Guillaume Rodrigue can we find in Phénix?

 

I believe we all have a dark side, which made it actually quite easy and fun to jump into this role. I channeled my inner God complex and imagined if someone wanted to take my place! With the help of director Patricia Chica [Patricia Chica interview - click here] we worked on giving the character sympathy and humanity despite his narcissistic behaviour. I'm nothing like Phénix! Haha! I’m much more calm and kind, although we do share the same love for the stage.

 

How did you get involved with the project in the first place?

 

My agent called me when Patricia Chica was casting for the character. Patricia and I talked on Facetime and it just clicked!

 

What can you tell us about Montréal Girls' director Patricia Chica, and what was your collaboration like?

 

Patricia Chica is a great director. She's all about freedom and making actors comfortable and confident. At the same time she knows what she wants and will get you there with her Chi Energy technique.

 

Montréal Girls is said to be the first film to be made with Chi Power - so how has this method informed your acting, and maybe you personally?

 

It was really interesting! For me, it was a very spiritual approach. You can actually feel the energy circulating through your body when you warm up. It was really fun!

 

Do talk about the shoot as such, and the on-set atmosphere!

 

It was in the middle of Covid so it was pretty intense with the sanitary measures. But everybody was giving their all to make the best movie we could. It was a great crew to work with!

 

Any future projects you'd like to share?

 

I'm more of a stage actor. I'm touring with 3 shows this year. One of them is the adaption of the movie The Full Monty called Ladies Night, which became a huge comedy hit in Québec. The two other projects are musicals that will be touring Québec as well!

 

What got you into acting in the first place, and did you receive any formal training on the subject?

 

I always liked to sing and make people laugh. I knew I wanted to act when I did a Molière monologue from a 500 year old comedy in high school, and made my entire class laugh. I then went to Conservatoire d'Art Dramatique de Montréal, a theatre school.

 

What can you tell us about your filmwork prior to Montréal Girls?

 

I was in Et au Pire, on se Mariera, directed by Léa Pool and Ligne de Fuite, directed by Myriam Bouchard and Catherine Chabot. Montréal Girls is my first bilingual movie!

 

How would you describe yourself as an actor, and some of your techniques to bring your characters to life?

 

I’m a perfectionist and hard worker. I mainly use the Stanislavski technique, the magic if.

 

Actors (and indeed actresses) who inspire you?

 

Tony Colette and Joaquin Phoenix.

 

Your favourite movies?

 

Big Fish, Hereditary, Rosemary's Baby, and Trainspotting.

 

... and of course, films you really deplore?

I don't really like the superhero movie genre. I find them repetitive and that there are too many.

Anything else you're dying to mention and I have merely forgotten to ask?
