After District 31 and Indéfendable, Marc-André Boulanger wants to increase the number of projects

Actor, wrestler and stuntman Marc-André Boulanger is enjoying great professional momentum. The one who plays the role of Boulet in the series Indefensibledreams of playing in a Xavier Dolan film.

As soon as he arrives in our studios, we notice his impressive build. Weighing 113 kilos and standing 1.85 meters tall, Marc-André Boulanger is impressive. In a ring, like on TV.

The actor and wrestler, originally from the North Shore of Montreal, has lived in Sherbrooke for seven years. Love led him to the Eastern Townships. I have an amazing wife, I am the most blessed of menhe confides.

For the past year, roles have followed one another for the actor, who, since adolescence, has maintained a keen interest in interpretation. Gaming has always attracted me, as has the well-being that you can bring to people by offering them your emotionshe says. So we saw it in the series Indefensiblewhile he wears the jacket of the intimidating character Le Boulet. He also participated in the film Liarby Émile Gaudreault. He is part of the cast of director Podz’s new series, The Collection, and this is its role in American production, The Last Frontierbroadcast on Apple TV in 2025, which opened the ball to all these television proposals.

With his imposing stature, his armadillos and his deep, gravelly voice, Marc-André often plays the tough guy. I have a template that is out of the ordinaryadmits the man who trains around fifteen hours a week, even today. However, being confined to these tough roles does not scare him at all. I’m not afraid, I accept the fact of beinghe says with a laugh.

I am in no position to complain. Would I like to play diverse roles, have a broader niche? Absolutely. Do I still have roles offered to me? Am I lucky enough to have a career that seems to last? Yes, so I can’t complain. I have great opportunities!

The ring like a stage

The arena remains incomparable for him. Marc-André also takes great pleasure in participating in wrestling galas, presented throughout Quebec and Ontario. Known as Franky The Mobsterthe professional wrestler has an unusual passion for this spectator sport, which he has been practicing since the age of 14. He is 45 today! Surprisingly, it is not so much the sporting nature that he appreciates about this discipline, but rather the game.

It is stronger than any form of interpretation. It’s the most direct, visceral and organic thing.

The colossus also shows undeniable determination. The adopted Sherbrooke faced criminal charges which were all dropped due to the Jordan ruling several years ago. Despite the storm, there is no question of giving up or ending up in the cables. There was a hollow period, very hollow, in the very abysses of regression. I was the black sheep of television. One thing led to another and I worked a lot more in the English-speaking world. There is a certain resurgence taking place at the French-speaking level and I welcome it with open armshe says, full of hope and ready to bounce back.

Demonstrate your vulnerability

Marc-André Boulanger accepts all the roles offered to him with gratitude. However, he would like to demonstrate the extent of his talent and his vulnerability. When asked about his dream role, the actor answers without any hesitation.

In Quebec, the director I would really like to work with would be Xavier Dolan. Because I love his cinema. His cinema touches me a lot. It’s poignant, it’s direct, it hits you in the face.

His favorite movie, Laurence Anyways, deeply marked him. If Marc-André could, one day, participate in a film like this and especially work with Dolan, it would be a gift from the godshe concludes.
