Glen Gould (born June 6, 1971) is an Aboriginal Canadian actor, director and producer of Mi'kmaq and Italian[1] descent. Between 2016 and 2020, he played the role of detective Jerry Commanda on the television series Cardinal.[2]
Career[]
Gould began performing professionally in Tomson Highway's theatrical troupe, Native Earth Performing Arts[3] (to which Billy Merasty had referred him),[4] and in Theatre New Brunswick;[5] however, his career went on hiatus in 1992 when his parents were killed in a car accident.[5]
Gould resumed performing in 1994,[5] and has subsequently appeared in many Canadian television programs, including Cashing In,[6] Blackstone,[7] North of 60, Cardinal and Tribal, and films, including The Colony, File Under Miscellaneous, Rhymes for Young Ghouls,[1] North Mountain, Monkey Beach and Girl.
In 2011, Gould won the Outstanding Performance Award at the Atlantic Film Festival for his role in the film Charlie Zone.[4]
Family[]
Gould's uncle was Donald Marshall Jr., whose wrongful conviction for murder occurred the day before Gould's birth: Gould's pregnant mother was so shocked by the verdict that she went into labour with him.[4] His first acting role was a minor part in the 1989 film adaptation of Michael Harris's 1986 book Justice Denied, which explored the events leading to Marshall's conviction.[1]
Gould's grandfather was Donald Marshall Sr.[8] His daughter is actress Na'ku'set Gould.[9]
