André Montmorency est un acteur et un metteur en scène québécois né à Montréal le 30 mai 1939 et mort le 5 juillet 2016 (à 77 ans) à Montréal.

Biography

André Montmorency œuvre dans le milieu artistique canadien depuis 1957.

Il est surtout connu au Québec, mais a également fait sa marque au Canada anglais comme metteur en scène (À toi pour toujours ta Marie-Lou de Michel Tremblay à Toronto en 1974). Il a fait plusieurs tournées internationales avec le Théâtre du Rideau Vert, notamment à Paris et à Moscou. Il a mis en scène L’heureux stratagème de Marivaux en 1964 (mention honorable d’André Malraux à Paris), de même que Le songe d’une nuit d’été de Shakespeare en 1965. Les Cahiers de théâtre Jeu ont considéré comme la plus inventive des années 1970 sa mise en scène-oratorio de À toi pour toujours ta Marie-Lou pour le TPQ au début des années 1980.

Son plus grand succès en tant qu'acteur de théâtre reste Monsieur Jourdain dans Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme de Molière, qu’il a joué presque 200 fois pour le théâtre du Trident (Québec), le Théâtre Paul Hébert (Île d’Orléans), le TNM (Montréal) et le Centre National des arts (Ottawa), de 1987 à 1989.

À la télévision de Radio-Canada, il a été le héros des enfants rebelles de 1967 à 1978 en interprétant Friponneau dans La Ribouldingue, et celui des homosexuels qui l’idolâtraient dans l'émission Chez Denise, dans laquelle il a joué Christian Lalancette de 1978 à 1983. Pendant 5 ans, de 1998 à 2004, il a interprété Victor dans la télésérie Le Retour sur les ondes de TVA. Durant cette même période, il a été chroniqueur culinaire pour l'émission Flash à TQS et pour le Journal de Montréal.

Il a également joué au cinéma dans Il était une fois dans l'Est (1974), Parlez-nous d'amour (1976), Ding et Dong, le film (1990), Alisée (1991), L'Oreille d'un sourd (1996), Le Petit ciel (1999), Histoires d'hiver (1999) et, tout récemment, dans Mars et Avril (qui sortira à l'automne 2012).

André Montmorency a également collaboré à différents projets de doublage pour le télévision et le cinéma. Il a notamment doublé la voix de Walter Koenig dans le rôle de l'officier Pavel Chekov pour la série télévisée originale Star Trek.

À l’Opéra, il s'est illustré comme metteur en scène et chanteur, notamment dans La veuve joyeuse de Franz Lehar (2002) et dans La Belle Helène de Jacques Offenbach. Il serait trop long et fastidieux d’énumérer ici ses talents de peintre, de polémiste ou de chanteur populaire dans de nombreuses comédies musicales (Des Grenouilles et des Hommes, 1998 et 2007).

Écrivain à ses heures, André Montmorency a publié cinq ouvrages entre 1983 et 2005, dont La Revanche du Pâté chinois qui a confirmé ses talents de gastronome. Il écrit régulièrement ses chroniques Les Montréalités de Momo pour le journal Le Plateau et peint d'une façon boulimique depuis l'arrivée de son alter ego : Pablo van Momo.

Le fonds d'archives d'André Montmorency est conservé au centre d'archives de Montréal de Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec.

André Montmonrency meurt le 5 juillet 2016 à l'âge de 77 ans à la suite d'une succession de pleurésies.

After the decline in Atlantean culture following the sinking, Kida (Cree Summer), now Queen, and married to Milo Thatch (James Arnold Taylor), is using the heart of Atlantis to restore her city's former glory. Suddenly, Milo's comrades and Mr. Whitmore (John Mahoney) arrive in Atlantis; while their arrival is unexpected, the Atlanteans welcome their old friends. Unfortunately, they have come to inform them of mysterious creature causing trouble on the surface. They arrive in Norway and discover that the mysterious problem is actually the creature known as the Kraken, which had been attacking shipping freighters and taking their cargo to a cliffside village. At first they presume it to be an ancient Atlantean war machine gone rogue (like the Leviathan from the previous film), but they discover that the town magistrate, Edgar Volgud (Clancy Brown), seems to be controlling the Kraken. They soon learn, though, that the Kraken itself is the master, having made a deal with Volgud. When they blow up the Kraken, the man disintegrates and restores the spirit of the village.

The film opens with narration from Kuzco, a teenage Inca emperor who has been transformed into a llama. He tells the story of how his life as a ruler used to be and how it was ruined "for no reason". However, in his flashback he is shown to have been rude and narcisissitic, albeit charismatic. He even goes so far as insulting the appearances of potential brides and throwing an old man out the window for "throwing off his groove." After Kuzko fires his conniving advisor, Yzma, for abusing her power, she comes up with a scheme to usurp the throne with the help of Kronk, her dim-witted but jovial henchman. Meanwhile, Kuzco meets with Pacha, a kind peasant and village leader, and tells him that he wants to demolish his hilltop family home to build himself a lavish summer home called "Kuzcotopia". Pacha protests, but is dismissed.

One night, the Sprites of the Northern Lights- a group of singing, colorfully garbed sprites who fly around the North Pole, are seen putting on a remarkable light show in front of Santa Claus' workshop, where Santa and his wife, Mrs. Claus witness the whole thing, to celebrate a very special occasion. It is revealed that a baby reindeer which his parents, Blitzen and his wife, Mitzi name Rudolph is born with an unusual red, shiny nose (a birth which the Sprites joyfully witness as well). Blitzen starts to worry that Rudolph will be made fun of because of this, while Mitzi is more optimistic. Later in the morning, they meet up with Rudolph's three uncles- Dasher, Comet, and Cupid -and introduce Rudolph to them. Cupid tickles Rudolph's chin and tummy until his nose starts glowing, which draws attention. Blitzen's worries then come true with the secret of their son's nose now revealed to Comet, Cupid, Dasher, and the rest of the residents of the North Pole.

Le duo d'humoristes Ding et Dong tente sans succès de gagner sa vie grâce à son humour. Enchaînant les malchances et les bourdes, un presque étranger fait d'eux ses héritiers d'une somme de 30 millions de dollars, qu'ils utiliseront pour fonder le TNT (Théâtre de la Nouvelle Tragédie). Ils y présentent Le Cid de Corneille. L'amitié qui unit les deux humoristes sera menacée par la direction que chacun veut donner à sa carrière respective; Ding veut s'orienter vers le théâtre de répertoire, influencé par une amie, et Dong semble déterminé à vouloir rester humoriste absurde, guidé par son nouvel agent.
