His other most prominent role as an actor was in the 1994 film Eclipse;[3] however, his acting career was somewhat limited by a perception that he was too "ethnic" for the Quebec film and television industries, and he generally only had small supporting or guest roles rather than major starring performances.[1]

Some of his poetry was set to music by the Latin jazz ensemble Intakto on their albums Intakto (2002)[4] and Todavia (2007);[5] Intakto won the Félix Award for World Music Album of the Year at the 25th Felix Awards in 2003,[6] and was a Juno Award nominee for World Music Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2004.[7]
