Anthony Therrien

Anthony Therrien is a Canadian actor who emerged from the modest town of Charlemagne, Quebec, quickly gaining recognition for his compelling screen presence and nuanced performances. Born on December 17, 1997, he entered the film world as a teenager, appearing in early projects that showcased his natural charisma and willingness to tackle complex characters. His breakthrough came with the critically acclaimed film Fake Tattoos (Les faux tatouages), where his portrayal earned him a nomination from the Vancouver Film Critics Circle for Best Actor in a Canadian Film in 2017. This early accolade highlighted his ability to convey deep emotional currents, establishing him as a rising talent in the Canadian cinema landscape. In the following year, Therrien solidified his reputation with a powerful supporting role in Slut in a Good Way (Charlotte a du fun), which brought him a Prix Iris nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the 20th Quebec Cinema Awards. Beyond these headline achievements, his filmography spans a diverse range of titles, including The Torrent (Le Torrent), Corbo, 1:54, Miséricorde, Vieux Jeu, The Dishwasher (Le Plongeur), Until You Die (Jusqu'à ce que tu meures), and Out Standing (Seule au front), each project allowing him to explore varied genres and character depths. On television, Therrien has made notable appearances in series such as Faux départs and Alerte amber, but his most prominent small‑screen role was the lead character Félix in the drama series Les Bracelets rouges from 2022 to 2024. The part demanded a physically demanding transformation, as Félix is a leg amputee due to cancer treatment; Therrien's dedication to authenticity was evident despite the use of special effects to simulate the amputation. In 2024, his performance in the short film Until You Die garnered a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Performance in a Live Action Short Drama, confirming his continued ascent within the industry and his capacity to deliver emotionally resonant work across both film and television mediums.
