Added DiffLines:

In 2023, Dolan announced in an interview that he intends to retire from filmmaking, saying, "I no longer have the desire or strength to commit myself to a project for two years that barely anyone sees. I put too much passion into it to have so many disappointments." He also stated that he had promised to shoot an English-language series for Creator/{{HBO}} before the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, and that he would keep his word and finish work on the project before retiring.

Initially starting off as a child actor in his native Montréal, Dolan soon transitioned into dubbing work. Although he has contributed to dozens of films since 2000, many of them attached to big-name franchises, French Canadian tropers might recognize him as the voice of [[Franchise/HarryPotter Ron Weasley]], [[Film/{{Twilight}} Jacob]] or [[Film/Dune2021 Paul Atreides]], and he and his father [[RealLifeRelative often dub characters in the same works]]. He has also appeared in a good number of acting roles in front of the camera, and on multiple occasions provided his own voice for Canadian and European French dubs of the films.
