# Alexandre Goyette

Alexandre Goyette (born April 11, 1979) is a Canadian actor and writer from Quebec, most noted as the writer of the stage play King Dave and the screenwriter and star of its 2016 film adaptation.

## Background

He grew up in Montréal-Nord and Rivière-des-Prairies, Quebec, and was educated at Collège André-Grasset and the Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe.

## Career

King Dave was first staged in 2005 as a solo one-man show in which Goyette played all of the characters himself. The film adaptation featured several actors.
In 2020, Goyette collaborated with actor Anglesh Major to update the story with Black Lives Matter themes so that Major could star in a revival for the Théàtre Jean-Duceppe; in 2023, Patrick Emmanuel Abellard also starred in an English-language translation of the Black-themed version for Centaur Theatre.
In addition to King Dave, he has had other supporting roles in film and television, and has had stage roles including Victor in Down Dangerous Passes Road (Le chemin des Passes-Dangereuses), Marco in The Decline of the American Empire (Le Déclin de l'empire américain), and Caius Marcius in Coriolanus.
In 2014, he had his first credit as a director, staging his own French translation of Mike Bartlett's play Cock for Espace 4001.

## Personal life

He has been in a longterm relationship with Geneviève Côté, a former actress who now has a psychotherapy practice.
