Jean-Pierre Bergeron (né en 1952 à Jonquière) est un acteur, scénariste et réalisateur québécois. Il enseigne également le jeu d'acteur.

Biography

Diplômé de l'École nationale de théâtre du Canada en 1971, Jean-Pierre Bergeron étudie comme acteur et professeur à New York, entre autres, avec le maître Herbert Berghof, un descendant artistique de Stanislavski.

Au cours de sa carrière, il fait de nombreuses interprétations au cinéma et à la télévision. On l'a souvent vu dans des rôles de méchant, entre autres dans des productions telles Les Doigts croches, Filière 13, L'Eau chaude, l'eau frette, Les Bons Débarras, Omertà II - La loi du silence, Les Filles de Caleb, Sur le seuil.

Jean-Pierre Bergeron joue et écrit également en anglais. Il a plusieurs activités artistiques dans cette langue, au Canada et aux États-Unis. Il joue ainsi dans Alias, Prom Queen, Les Feux de l'amour, The Poseidon Adventure, Just Desserts, Bonanno: A Godfather's Story. Il a également prêté sa voix à plus de mille annonces publicitaires.

Selon Raymond Bertin, Jean-Pierre Bergeron peut « jouer les êtres bourrus ou autoritaires tout en gardant une fragilité intérieure ».

À l'aube de la soixantaine, il écrit et réalise en 2011, son premier court métrage, « Alone with Mr. Carter ». Présenté en première mondiale le 17 septembre 2011 au célèbre Egyptian Theatre de l'« American Cinematheque » à Los Angeles, dans le cadre de « Québec à Hollywood », ce film de 17 minutes mettant en vedette Robert Naylor (Nomination aux Prix Genie 2011 et Gagnant d’un Young Artist Award 2011 à L.A. pour 10 ½), Claudia Ferri (The Killing) et « Paul James Saunders » sera ensuite présenté en première canadienne aux Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois 2012, avant de poursuivre sa route dans divers festivals dont le Festival regard sur le court métrage au Saguenay. Il gagne le Prix du meilleur court métrage québécois au Festival international Fantasia de Montréal en 2012. Jean-Pierre Bergeron dit qu’il a fait ce film parce qu’il n’avait jamais vu à l’écran l’histoire d’un petit gars aussi jeune ayant des sentiments sexuels et amoureux pour un homme adulte. “Dans mon jeune âge, j’ai eu des sentiments secrets pour des hommes. Bien sûr je savais que ça ne mènerait nulle part. Ne fût-ce que parce que j’étais un enfant, je savais qu’il ne fallait pas que ça aille quelque part. Mais les sentiments étaient là. En écho à la conversation d'aujourd'hui sur l'égalité, n'êtes-vous pas d'accord qu'ils étaient aussi valides que ceux d'un petit gars pour une femme adulte? Pourtant, au fil des années, je n’avais jamais vu de film sur ce sujet."

Jean -Pierre Bergeron est considéré comme le premier acteur au Québec identifié à des rôles typiquement masculins (il a joué des policiers, des bandits et des figures d'autorité pendant 40 ans) à sortir du placard dans les médias. Sa feuille de route américaine inclut des rôles dans Alias, American Dreams, The Young and the Restless, The New Poseidon Adventure et plusieurs autres. Un point tournant de sa vie fut de jouer le père col bleu de l'adolescent gay Mark Hall dans Prom Queen, qui fut diffusé sur CTV, LOGO et plusieurs autres réseaux dans le monde. Il se prépare à tourner Hitchhiking in the Dark, son premier long métrage comme scénariste/réalisateur/acteur, en 2015.

Set in 1964, Donald Quintal (Patrice Robitaille) meets Father Padre Carmet (Jorge Sabate) at a missionary but is told by Carmet that he cannot be given the money. Donald begins his story that he was a part of The Panet Street Gang that was made up of six Montreal gangsters, and that fours ago, while they were in prison, they planned a bank heist. When the heist went awry, they all voted to give Jimmy the money in $2 million seeing as he had devoted his life to God, on the condition of promising to share it when they all met again. Jimmy hid under the floor while the other five were taken away. When the five were released from prison, they met at a parish chapel near the Franco-Spanish border. Donald explained to the group that he had received a letter from Jimmy that they were to walk 830 kms of the Camino pilgrimage to Santiago to get their share of the money, with a condition, that they needed to prove that they had changed their character as proof of doing the pilgrimage. They learn that they need pilgrim passports to be able to stay at hostels along the way. They tell the Customs women the truth about themselves and they get their passes. Donald Quintal begins a relationship with Maddy (Aure Atika), the girlfriend of Charles (Roy Dupuis) the de facto leader of the group. They arrive in a village and are directed by a boy on his bike to a church and find the grave marker of Jimmy, who had died of his heroin addiction while staying at Carmet's missionary while the others were incarcerated. Cutting back to the conversation between Quintal and Carmet, Quintal is given the money by being given the location of where it is buried. The gang is arrested in Santiago and while the police is going through their bags, looking for the money, it is shown that Maddy has it. The members leave prison and get back to their lives. Maddy distributes the money to each member as she sees fit, leaving Charles a plane ticket to come and find her in Venice.

When the mother's lawyer, Ryan Hughes, does not show up in court, Holly is extremely angry and sends Hughes a letter via her secretary. On Christmas Day, she opens her door to a man carrying a Christmas tree and a bow on his chest. He hands her a note that says, "As promised, one boyfriend for Christmas," and introduces himself as Douglas Firwood. She assumes he is a gag present from her friend Diane, and invites him into her home. Later that day she takes him with her to her parents' house for Christmas dinner. Hoping to keep her matchmaking family, especially her manipulative sister-in-law Carol, off her back, she tells everyone that Douglas is her long-term boyfriend, and Douglas plays along. On New Year's Eve, Holly learns from her scheming ex-boyfriend Ted that Douglas is really Ryan Hughes, who was sent to her by Santa Claus. She accuses him of lying to her and tells him to leave.

In the year 60 B.C. a group of Druids, including the arch-druid Guttuart (Max von Sydow), witness the passing of a comet and interpret it as the sign of the coming of a king for their country Gaul, which has not had a king for a long time. Guttuart goes to Gergovia, the capital of the Arvernes tribe, to attend a meeting of Gallic tribal chieftains. The young boy Vercingetorix, along with his friend the young girl Eponia, sneak into a large cavern where Celtill, Vercingetorix's father and chieftain of the Arvernes, hosts the meeting of chieftains with the intention of proclaiming himself king of all Gauls. When Celtill shows off the crown once worn by the old kings of Gaul, an arrow from two Roman spies (dressed as Gauls) hits Celtill in the back. Gobanittio, Celtill's brother, places Celtill under arrest while the Roman spies flee with the crown. Vercingetorix tries to rush in to help his father, but Guttuart prevents the young boy from intervening and explains that destiny requires Celtill to meet his fate. The young Vercingetorix, while watching his uncle burn his father alive, swears revenge.
