David La Haye

David La Haye (born April 19, 1966) is a Canadian actor.
Career
He began his career in films in Yves Simoneau's Dans le ventre du dragon opposite such veteran stars as Rémy Girard and Pierre Curzi. With piercing eyes and an intense physical style, La Haye emerged in the 1990s as one of the most versatile actors on the Quebec scene, winning a Genie Award for best actor in L’Enfant d’eau playing a mentally handicapped victim of a shipwreck in the South Sea Islands. He was also nominated for his deft comic turn as troubled photographer incapable of making a commitment in Soft Shell Man.
