I didn't get quite all of it and anything I was really not sure of I've got in brackets. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>«I wanted the role of Maurice Richard as soon as the producer Robert-Guy Scully announced his project to me of a miniseries.» </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Do not doubt sincerity, of the remarks nor of the involvement of Roy Dupuis in the production Maurice Richard, history of a Canadian, of which the first of two parts is aired tomorrow, at Beaux Dimanches (Radio-Canada, to 20 H), in [a prime time slot???] </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Even if it was overwhelming, working between twelve and sixteen hours per day, in Toronto, with the making of new episodes of the American series Nikita, the actor nevertheless found time on his plate to return [...?... sorry didn't get this bit]. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>It is not the first time that Dupuis has been in the skin of a character who does not belong to fiction. In The Dionne Quintuplets he played the role of the father, and Les Filles de Caleb! «It's not well known, but Ovila also existed!», He says. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>A Living legend But «Rocket», he is gigantic! He is the passion of the sport. In fact, he is a hero and a living legend of our society. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>[Dupuis, a lover hockey does not make exception to the broad percentage of amateurs who will be watching the small screen in some 24 hours, because he also never saw «Rocket» playing. ]   «Maurice Richard forms part of our culture. What he achieved represents something immense. At one time, one called us «the small French Canadians». </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Thanks to him, the small «qualifier» has disappeared. It was for us what basketball was for Blacks, adds Dupuis. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Dupuis did not meet with «Rocket»during the miniseries. «Our meeting rather occurred at the time of the filming of the Heritage Minute, when Robert-Guy Scully chose me first to play «Rocket».» </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>[...?...talking about Mr. Richard and when he first met him, that he was not as shy as he had expected.]. That being said, I hope that he likes what he will see these two next Sundays», he continued. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Roy Dupuis does not know if it will be able to watch at the series on Radio-Canada, tomorrow. He may have to go back to Toronto, because he is overwhelmed with too much work. Unquestionable thing, it was not too much for him this week to speak about his new role. </B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>    <IMG SRC="4e12c180.gif" border=0 width="300" height="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="4e12c180.gif" border=0 width="300" height="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div>         </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>  Le Lundi Nov. 6, 1999                                                     </B><A HREF="id88.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Le Lundi 6 November 1999 "><U><B><IMG SRC="1be3e220.gif" border=0 width="62" height="34" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
