It was through his brilliant portrayal of François in the popular series Les Simone (Ricardo Trogi, KOTV) that the general public discovered Benoît Mauffette’s sensitivity and natural comedic talent. He also made a strong impression playing Gabriel in Les Invisibles (Alexis Durand-Brault, ALSO), a critically acclaimed series. Additionally, he was part of the regular cast of Drôles de Véronic (nominated for a Gémeaux Award in the Best Ensemble – Comedy category) and appeared in many popular shows, including Mémoires vives, District 31, Stat, L’Œil du cyclone, and Sans rendez-vous.

His talent was further confirmed when he took on the lead role (alongside Maxim Roy) in Paris Paris (Dominique Desjardins, Zazie Films). The second season was even selected for the official competition at the Festival de la fiction de La Rochelle.

In addition to his acting training (Option-Théâtre at Collège Lionel-Groulx), Benoît Mauffette studied microbiology and German studies at the Université de Montréal. He made a name for himself in theater by performing an entirely German-speaking role in Tout ce qui tombe by Véronique Côté (directed by Frédéric Dubois, Théâtre d’Aujourd’hui, Trident). He was also seen in Les Troyennes (Louis-Karl Tremblay, Point d’Orgue). He shared the stage with Yves Jacques in the hit play Je suis mixte by Mathieu Quesnel, presented at La Licorne and on a Quebec tour.

At the Théâtre du Rideau Vert, he was part of the cast of Vol au-dessus d’un nid de coucou, Le Malade imaginaire (Michel Monty), and Un reel ben beau, ben triste (Marc Béland).

On the big screen, he appeared in Le cyclotron by Olivier Asselin (a role he also performed in German) and more recently in Bungalow by Lawrence Côté-Collins and Ru by Charles-Olivier Michaud.

Beyond his acting career, and adding new skills to his repertoire, he aspires to explore directing and science communication.
