Quebecois Actor Marc-Andre Grondin Dazzles

Following a screening of Quebecois director Jean-Marc Vallee's sensational Toronto International Film Festival '05 audience award winner "C.R.A.Z.Y." at the AFI Los Angeles International Film Festival yesterday, a couple of people were overheard saying about the film's lead actor Marc-Andre Grondin, "he's the Canadian Gael [Garcia Bernal]." Their features do have some resemblance and Grondin definitely gave quite an impressive performance in the film, which is a unique coming-of-age story. The film is Canada's official entry for foreign-language Academy Award consideration. Distribution in the U.S. is still pending -- we hope it gets out there!
