Who is Yanic Truesdale? Where is he from?
Born under the sign of Pisces on the 17th of March 1970, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, with Canadian nationality, Yanic Truesdale is a 49 year-old Black Canadian entrepreneur, actor and soundtrack performer. He is most likely best known to the wide world thanks to his significant exposure on the TV screen, and across other media outlets, owing in great part to some of the most popular characters that he played. He has had a number of successes over the course of his often lucrative acting career since 1990.
Early life and education: An accidental jackpot
Yanic was raised apparently an only child in his birthplace, by his father and mother of thus far unknown names and professions. At least one of his parents is widely believed to be of French descent, since Yanic grew up bilingual.
Truesdale’s childhood interests remain to be divulged by the now famous actor, as he doesn’t have the tendency of sharing too much about his personal life. Still, as it’s known that he entered acting suddenly, he is not believed to have had a strong passion for performing arts until the end of his teens. As for his education, he attended an unspecified high school in the place where he was raised, from which he matriculated in 1987, a year earlier than most of his peers. Yanic had at that point decided that he wanted to try acting, and persuaded his parents to let him audition for a spot at the National Theatre School of Canada. He was subsequently accepted, and graduated four years later with an unspecified degree. Yanic then decided to further his education, by moving to New York City, and studying at the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute, graduating in 1995.
Career: A college star
Yanic didn’t take too long to make his screen debut, having been cast in a role when he was only at the beginning of his acting education. He was first seen on the screen in 1990, playing Joseph Brousseau in the French film (like the majority of his titles) entitled “Lance et compte: Tous pour un”. His second project came in 1992, when he got to portray Michel in “Prince Lazure”. Next year, he played Arsenio in “Les Heritiers Duval”, in which he remained for six episodes until 1996. Yanic’s fourth title ensued soon after his graduation, at which point he was cast as Philippe Tessier in another French comedy TV series, entitled “Majeurs et Vaccines”. In 1997 the actor braved the screen in the role of a guide in “Un Gars, Une fille”, for two episodes.
Two years later, Truesdale passed the casting for the role of Patrolman in an episode of “The Sentinel”, his first English title. In 2000 the Canadian finally made his true ascent into stardom, cast in the role of Michel Gerard in the popular comedy drama TV series by Amy Sherman-Palladino, entitled “Gilmore Girls”, in which he remained for its entire 154-episode duration until 2007.
His other titles thus far
Concurrently, Yanic also took part in some other projects, playing Noah in “See Jane Date” in 2003, and an eponymous character in “Tout sur moi” in 2006. A year after “Gilmore Girls”, he was seen as Michel in two episodes of the comedy romance TV series entitled “ Rumeurs”. Truesdale then took a four-year break, then returned to the screen in 2012 as Yan Patrick in five episodes of “Mauvais Karma”.
After a year’s break, he was in 2014 observed in the role of a clerk in “Mohawk Girls” for two episodes, as well as Patrick in “La Theorie du K.O.”, also in two episodes, one of which aired in 2015, alongside him being FBI Agent Kincaid in three episodes of the TV mini-series entitled “The Fixer”. 2016 was a moderate improvement for his appearance, as he was seen in the character of Beau in two episodes of “Sing It!”, and as Michel Gerard again in the reboot of “Gilmore Girls” – the web mini-series entitled “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life”. Fans will be glad to know that there have lately been rumors of another return of the series.
Yanic’s latest three years in the business
The Canadian actor’s popularity increased yet again after the reboot, and in 2017 he continued as usual, playing The Cleaner in an episode of “The Catch”, and Lin’s Agent in an episode of the moderately well-known “Curb Your Enthusiasm”. In 2018 he was seen in only one title – as Ken in the comedy romance crime film by Justin G. Dyck entitled “Christmas Catch”. His next year’s project entitled “Love by Accident” was supposed to be released earlier, but is still in post-production, in which he portrays Officer Paul. In 2020 he will be seen as Todd in an episode of “Lacher Prise”, and Max in the drama entitled “My Salinger Year”, which will mark his 22nd credited role.
Taking the entrepreneurial turn
At some point in recent years, Yanic took the opportunity to open his own indoor cycling (spinning) studio called Spin Energie, fully equipped with the latest tools and machines, operated by customers who learn from verified trainers, of whom Yanic is also one. Besides his acting career, this studio is believed to be his main source of income.
Love life: Who is his partner? Is he gay?
When it comes to Yanic’s romantic involvements, he belongs to the group of celebrities who don’t appreciate the media knowing anything about their love life, and has thus chosen to keep this information to himself. In spite of the fact that no information about any partner he ever had exists in public, Yanic was oftentimes rumored to be gay – this is due to his “Gilmore Girls” character Michel Gerard’s later revealed true sexuality, and gradually more open involvement with men over the course of the show.
Truesdale personally never confirmed that his on-screen sexuality has anything to do with his real one, but since he’s yet to be seen in public with a particular woman, the crowd remains suspicious. The Canadian actor resides supposedly alone in Montreal.
Facts about Truesdale: What is his accent? Did he have a nose job?
Thanks to Michel’s easily noticeable French accent in “Gilmore Girls”, many fans began wondering whether Yanic himself has mild issues with pronouncing certain words in English, but according to Huffington Post’s publication, this is evidently not the case. Another rumor that’s been in the air for a while considering Truesdale is whether his nose is real or fake. Upon comparing his earliest existing photos to the most recent ones, it doesn’t look as though he ever underwent plastic surgery, though there’s no record to refute or confirm this claim.
Due to the lack of information, the only sure thing is that Yanic doesn’t appear to have a nose job.
What is Yanic Truesdale’s net worth?
Have you lately taken a moment to ask yourself just how rich Yanic could be, as we near the end of 2019? Some of the most reputable sources have been able to offer an estimate of more than $4 million, earned thanks to the various roles he has had over the course of his entertainment and business career, as of late also including to the spin studio he privately owns. By all accounts, he looks to be going stronger than ever, and so the said amount will definitely increase.

Social media presence
So, how active do you think Yanic could be on the internet? Seeing as he’s an entrepreneur and actor, it looks like he has two professional reasons to constantly engage with the audience, consistently sharing information about his private life and career so as to exponentially increase his social reach and thus future earnings. The Canadian star seems to be well aware of how this business model works, and can be found on all three of the most popular social media networks. His Facebook account is private, his Twitter has close to 50,000 fans, and his Instagram just over 90,000 followers.
