Career
Career
Huard broke into the Quebec show business scene in 1989 as a comedian, actor and television personality, with success as a stand-up comedian in the early 1990s. He had his first film role in the 1997 film Heads or Tails (J’en suis!), attaining greater success the following year with a recurring role as a hockey player in the Les Boys franchise. With François Flamand, he launched the theatre troupe Le Nouveau Theatre Insolite, which debuted with a French-language adaptation of Eric Bogosian's Talk Radio in 1997, with Huard in the lead role. He cemented his credentials as the co-star and co-writer of Bon Cop, Bad Cop, now the most successful domestic film at the box office in the history of Canadian cinema. In 2007 he made his debut as a director with The 3 L'il Pigs (Les 3 P’tits cochons), which was a hit in Quebec and won the Golden Reel Award for the top-grossing Canadian film of the year. He followed up in 2010 with File 13 (Filière 13), and has also directed short films and episodes of the television series Taxi 0-22 and Escouade 99. In 2020 he launched a talk show, La Tour, on TVA. He hosted the show for two seasons until leaving in 2022. In 2023 he hosted LOL: Qui rira le dernier?, the Quebec adaptation of the international Documental franchise. In 2024, he was named the recipient of the Earle Grey Award, the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television's lifetime achievement award for acting, at the 12th Canadian Screen Awards.
