Maxime Le Flaguais is the stage name of Maxime Côté (born 1982), a Canadian actor known for his leading television role as Alexis Labranche in the 2016-21 drama series Les Pays d'en haut[1] and his performance in the 2022 film Rodeo (Rodéo).[2]
The son of actors Michel Côté and Véronique Le Flaguais, he had a number of early acting roles as Maxime Côté before opting in 2010 to use his mother's surname professionally, in a bid to establish his career on his own without the baggage of being judged against his father's status as one of Quebec's most famous actors.[3] His first role credited as Maxime Le Flaguais was in the film (Piché, entre ciel et terre) as the young Robert Piché, with his father playing Piché as an adult.[3]
He received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Lead Performance in a Film at the 11th Canadian Screen Awards in 2023, for his performance in Rodeo.[4]
He has also been an occasional songwriting collaborator with singer-songwriter Beyries, including on the songs "J'aurai cent ans"[5] and "Nous sommes".[6] They received a SOCAN Songwriting Prize nomination in 2017 for "J'aurai cent ans",[7] and Le Flaguais codirected the music video for "Nous sommes".[6]
In 2022 he directed his first narrative short film, Ourobouros.[8]
He is in a relationship with actress Caroline Dhavernas.[9] Their first daughter, Françoise, was born in 2018.[10]
