Bio:
Dora Award-nominated actor Pierre Simpson has been delighting audiences professionally for over 15 years. Fluently bilingual, Pierre's charm shines through in both of Canada's official languages making him not only highly skilled at shooting bilingual training videos and commercials, but also a very busy stage, TV, film and new media actor across the country.
Bien connu sur la scène franco-ontarienne, Pierre a parcouru le pays avec plusieurs productions théâtrales professionnelles dont la tournée nationale des Médecins de Molière qui lui a valu le Prix Rideau 2010 pour l'interprétation masculine. Son bilinguisme lui confère aussi la capacité de jouer tant pour les compagnies théâtrales et télévisuels francophones qu'anglophone et fait de lui un talent indispensable quand il s'agit de publicités et de vidéos de formation bilingues.
