His Role in The Necessities of Life

In 2008, Paul-André starred in the film The Necessities of Life (original French title: Ce qu'il faut pour vivre). This movie tells the story of an Inuit hunter who is sent to a hospital in Quebec.

When Paul-André got the role, he faced an interesting challenge. He lived in Montreal and spoke French, but his character in the film spoke Inuktitut. Inuktitut is one of the main Inuit languages spoken in the Canadian Arctic. To prepare for his role, Paul-André had to learn his lines in Inuktitut. He got help from his co-star, Natar Ungalaaq, who is an Inuit actor and helped him learn the language. This shows how dedicated Paul-André was to his acting and to accurately representing his character's background.
