Serge Houde

Serge Houde is a Character Actor who's made a career out of playing Good Guys & Bad Guys. Case in point: his poignant performance as Joseph Gordon-Levitt's father suffering from Alzheimer's in the feature 50/50 (2011), and in the same year his powerful portrayal as the volatile Mafia Boss Sam Giancana opposite Tom Wilkinson in the mini-series The Kennedys (2011) which prompted GQ's Tom Carson to write: "...a terrific Sam Giancana (Serge Houde, and where has this formidable actor been all of Martin Scorsese's life?)." Houde began acting at age 35, after pursuing successful careers as an Award Winning Advertising Executive (IKEA) and as an Internationally Published Wildlife Photojournalist specializing in Bears (National Geographic). Despite a late start and with no formal training, his passion for "The Work" coupled with his determination and raw talent, quickly established him as one of Canada's most successful Character Actors with well over 150 credits under his belt. Recently, the veteran actor guest starred on AMC's hit shows "The Killing" and "Hell on Wheels" and on the CW's newest smash, "iZombie." Houde also received a 2014 Leo Award nomination for 'Best Guest Performance by a Male in a Dramatic Series' for his role on CTV's "Played." He will next be seen starring in the Barry Sonnenfeld comedy Nine Lives (2016) opposite Kevin Spacey.
