About Me

Guy Castonguay

Guy's initial venture into the acting world began when he was in the second grade performing a song involving a bucket with a hole in it. Guy vividly recalls singing to "Dear Liza" that there "is a hole in the bucket". Liza responded with several methods of mending the hole, including the use of straw.

After mending the hole, not much acting continued until Guy reached high school where he studied drama and performed in several school plays. He also enjoyed studying the use of camera as a performance medium. Then Guy went on another hiatus from acting and studied the sciences in university. After university and working in the field for over 4 years, Guy was reawakened to his true calling.

While Guy watched his fellow science colleagues perform in a play, he decided to revisit the performing arts by simply auditioning himself. At his very first audition, Guy was cast in a non-musical modern adaptation of Phantom of the Opera. Like a wide-eyed baby, Guy gobbled up everything he could learn about theatre and acting. He soon discovered how he immensely enjoyed the entire process from rehearsing to performing. Shortly after the show closed, Guy resigned from the science field and began studying the performing arts once again.

Thirty years later of study and performing, Guy has always felt he had made one of the best decisions of his life by becoming an actor.
