Jean-Louis Millette (French pronunciation: ​[Ê'É'̃ lwi milÉ›t]; 4
January 1935 â€" 29 September 1999) was a French-speaking actor and
writer.Millette was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Millette's
television career spans over thirty years: he was a cast member of
many of the best-known series in Quebec, including the children's
series La Ribouldingue (which he also co-wrote), L'Héritage,
Symphorien and Montréal P.Q. (in a role which earned him a Prix
Gémeaux in 1994).[unreliable source?] He was also the voice of
Abraham Simpson, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon and Waylon Smithers in the
Quebec dubbing of The Simpsons. On the big screen, he played mostly
supporting roles, most notably in Robert Lepage's first film The
Confessional (Le Confessionnal).However, Millette's most significant
work was in theatre: he was a major figure of Quebec theatre and, in
1990, received the Prix Victor-Morin for outstanding achievement in
theatre in Quebec. He was a member of the Théâtre de Quat'Sous when
it was founded by Paul Buissonneau in 1956. Millette died suddenly in
Montreal of a heart attack in September 1999. At the time, he was
touring a one-man performance of Larry Tremblay's The Dragonfly of
Chicoutimi. This role had earned him the Masque Prize (Quebec's annual
prizes in theatre) for best acting performance.Jean-Louis Millette at
