Drop the Beat, The Hunger, Big Wolf on Campus, Vampire High, Les
Bougon, Minuit, le soir, 19-2, Vikings, Cardinal and Au nom de la
loi.He took the nickname "Podz" from the fact that his surname differs
in spelling, but not in pronunciation, from the far more common French
Canadian surname Groulx, meaning that he was frequently forced to
state his surname to people as "Grou, pas d'lx".He is a four-time
Gémeaux Award winner for Best Direction in a Dramatic Television
Series or Program, winning in 2003 for the television film Exils, in
2006 and 2007 for Minuit, le soir, and in 2011 for the French version

Director at the 31st Genie Awards in 2010 for 10½, and a Canadian
Screen Award nominee for Best Direction in a Dramatic Television
Series at the 4th Canadian Screen Awards in 2016 for the 19-2 episode
"School".
