Jacques Galipeau became interested in acting at a young age and at one point studied acting in Paris for 6 years. He returned to Québec where he found work on stage and on television. In the 1950s he was known for his stage work in productions like Les Fous de Dieu by Friedrich Durrenmatt at Théàtre des Noctamblues. He is probably best known for his role of Clophas in the series Les belles histoires des pays d’en haut working with Denise Filiatrault and Jacques Godin. One of his last roles was in the 2002 Manon Briand film La turbulence des fluides, which starred Pascale Bussieres. Jacques Galipeau was 96 when he died in hospital in Montreal on August 30, 2020.
