A graduate of Theatre Option at Lionel-Groulx College in 2000, Carl Poliquin was quickly noticed. In 2002, he won the award for "Best Quebec Francophone Creation " at the Fringe Festival with the show L'Entrevue, which he was a part of and also directed.

Among his performances, let's not forget his work as the lead role in Duceppe Theatre's Billy l’éclopé, in Scaramouche at the Denise-Pelletier Theatre, which earned him a nomination at the 2007 Masks Gala, as well as in Les Fourberies de Scapin, Le Cid and Peter et Alice.
