«My participation in the filming of District 31 ended last Thursday. To tell you the pleasure I had playing this Master Durand!! A sleuth, he was only supposed to appear in one episode, but here I am following a hundred episodes and the pleasure of giving him a voice has never faded. Thank you to Lucie Robitaille for having introduced it to me, thank you to Luc Dionne for having left his always so fair and brilliant words, thank you to the playmates, thank you to the team who maintained a hellish pace during these 6 beautiful years. Thanks to Roxane for being my beautiful coach on the eve of a shoot, thanks to Manon Clément for always knowing how to handle my unavailability in such a human way and a last thank you to you, assiduous and passionate viewers, each of your words , each of your smiles, either on the networks or in real life, was a great recognition and a great complicity.»
