THE 411
Marc Menard, the second of three children born to a French-speaking father and Irish-Canadian mother, was raised in Montreal and discovered as a model while he was still in college. For years, he was a fixture on the runways in Milan, Paris and New York, and did print work for major publications like Vogue and Esquire. But Menard's ambtions always extended to acting and when he settled in Miami, he began to study drama intensively while still working frequently as a model. He's an extreme sports junkie and an excellent cook (if he does say so himself). Menard resides in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood.

MEMORABLE QUOTES
"I was only 5-foot-6 in high school. I used to wear padding in my shoes. I prayed, did a lot of stretching.... But even as a short kid, I wasn't easily intimidated." —Soap Opera Digest, 5/6/03
What his co-star says: "I was very impressed with him from day one, literally, because on our very first day of taping together, I totally blundered my lines and he completely covered for me. He was right there in the moment. I was like, 'Wow, this guy's good!' And he's sweet and he's funny. I really love working with him." —Alicia Minshew (Kendall)
