Andreas Apergis, like his playmate Mélissa Désormeaux-Poulin, is back in the second season of the series Secret secreton ADDIK and Black Lakeon Club illico.
The viewer recognizes him by his clear, penetrating blue eyes, which do not go unnoticed.
The one who acts in both languages and often plays villain roles – he is rarely called upon to play the fathers of the family! – has been working increasingly in French for several years.

“At the start of my career I was less comfortable playing in French, but I love working in French and with the teams here. “There is exceptional talent here, especially since we don’t have the millions of Americans,” he said in an interview with QMI Agency. The pandemic and now the American actors strike are making him more available for “local” projects.
In both Classé Secret and Lac-Noir, the 53-year-old actor plays, in his own words, “lonely wolves.” Classé Secret’s is more reserved, while Lac-Noir’s is more extroverted.
Secret Secret: Reunion for McKenna and Miller
In the sequel to “Classified Secret”, one of ADDIK’s biggest hits, Andreas Apergis once again takes on the role of Adrian McKenna, who is no longer head of the Canadian Security Services (SSC). It was Rachel Miller (Mélissa Désormeaux-Poulin) who replaced him in this sensitive position that requires strong nerves.
“McKenna wanted to leave her position with the SSC, which is very tiring. It’s hard to find peace in it and it’s like playing chess all the time. You always have to be on your guard.”
McKenna is now a security consultant for a mining company where two of the engineers, played by Maxime de Cotret and Ted Pluviose, were kidnapped in the Maghreb.
“He will take part in the negotiations for their release and we will sometimes see him take off his cover,” said Andreas Apergis.
Miller and McKenna also have unfinished business with Émile Darcy (Patrick Labbé), who was a mole in the Americans’ pay and, above all, Miller’s wife. The latter does not know who shot Darcy and on whose orders.
Produced by Duo Productions in collaboration with Quebecor Content, the series is very topical and addresses the alleged interference of China and India in Canada.
Lac-Noir: a dangerous and ambitious mayor
In Lac-Noir, Andreas Apergis reprises his role as Mayor Conrad Cochrane, a dangerous, impulsive man, and although he is a werewolf in the pack of the village of Lac-Noir, he is more of a free electron.
“His ambitions are very big and not regional; He has amassed money, he has power and he thinks big,” said the Montreal actor, not hiding the joy of playing a character who “embraces his dark side.”

In the first episode of the second season of the series produced by Pixcom in collaboration with Quebecor Content, Mayor Cochrane returns from his trip. We see him getting out of a private jet with a man’s head. He also keeps Zach (Vincent Paradis-Montplaisir) in a cage. He was the one who bit him and turned him into a werewolf. Zach is visited by Dr. Émily Morot (Marie-Evelyne Lessard) tested.
Andreas Apergis, who has to film the Amazon Prime series Reacher in Toronto once the Hollywood actors’ strike is resolved, will also be working on an important video game that he can’t talk about.
