Time and time again the same questions crop up, so we've compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions on Roy or this website. If you have a question and are considering emailing the website, please take the time to read through this list first - the answer might be right here. Failing that, why not spend a little more time browsing the site? You may find answers to questions you hadn't even thought of! Then there's the message board, where dozens of long-serving RDO members (they're called Homagers) will be only too pleased to help you out.  You don't even have to be a member to join in a discussion or ask a question, but if you've got this far, why not just go for it?

After all that, if you have read through the appropriate part of the website, checked this list, and you're still nervous about using the message board, then by all means feel free to contact us at faq@roydupuis-online.com

How old is Roy and when is his birthday?
Roy was born on April 21st 1963.
Is he married?
No. He does not believe in the institution of marriage.
Does he have a girlfriend?
Yes.
Who is she?
Actress Céline Bonnier. They met on the set of Million Dollar Babies in 1994, and have been together since then. (We also have a small site dedicated to her and her work.)
Does he have children?
No.
Where does he live?
In a farmhouse, some way out of Montreal.  He is unlikely ever to move to Hollywood!
Does Roy visit this website?
He might do, but he's never told us, so we can't say for sure.
Are you in contact with Roy?
No we're not.
Where do I write to Roy?
See the Contacts page for contact information through his agency.
Will I get a reply?
We have no involvement in this and therefore we can't say for sure. Some people we know have had responses from the agency address, some of which have taken a long time to arrive and some people have had no response. Our advice is just to be patient. We're sure he gets tons of mail and it may take a while for his agent's office to get round to some of the requests.
Can you send me his autograph?
No - sorry but we have no personal contact with Roy or his agents. You need to contact them with that request. Go to the Contacts page for his agents mailing address. Or see 'Is there a fan club?' below.
Do you have his email address?
No we don't.  You could try the agency's address.
Does he post on the message board?
No.
Is there a fan club?
No there isn't. However, Roy does regularly meet with fans from around the world, at gatherings held for charitable causes.  For details of forthcoming events, please check the message board. You will find several personal accounts of past meetings with Roy in the 'In Person' section of the site.
These charitable causes also hold online auctions where you can bid for items, usually autographed and sometimes personalised to the winner.  Again, you can check the message board for details of these auctions.
Is there an official fan site?
No, there isn't. - but we (modestly!) reckon that RDO is the next best thing!
I live in (insert country, state, town of choice!) and it's really hard to get copies of Roy's films - where can I buy them?
Most of Roy's films have limited exposure outside Quebec.  However, things have become very much easier than in the past, now that DVDs are routinely released. For all films still available, Amazon.ca is a good bet.  Once they get sold out, you can often pick up Roy's films on ebay.
I don't speak French!!!!!
Frankly, even if you did, you could have problems with some of the films that have strong Quebecois accents.  Again, the advent of DVDs has made English subtitles far more common.  They're OK when you get the hang of them - learn to love them. Infinitely better than having Roy's voice dubbed by someone else, don't you think?
I'm a Nikita fan, and now I want to see more of Roy in his other work, but I have a limited budget.  Which films/TV series should I start with?
When people used to ask this question during the original 'Nikita years' (1997 - 2001) there was a limited body of historical work, from which the 'must-sees' could easily be identified.  Now that Roy is churning out 3 or 4 films a year, it's a lot more difficult to prioritise. There are film reviews on the main site, and a Film Review forum on the message board.  The RDO message board members (the Homagers) will be pleased to advise.
Is Roy really going to be on '24'? / Is there going to be a 'Nikita' movie?
These have been favourite questions for years.  The answer, as ever, is 'not so far'.  But if either of these projects ever happens, RDO will be on top of it!
What are his next projects?
This is something that can change daily! The best place to find the most up to date information is the message board here you can find running threads with the latest news and also ask questions on the latest projects. Roy reckons that sometimes we know things before he does!
