Thierry Pepin by Gregory Vaughan

Thierry Pepin considers himself primarily an actor, but he's achieved considerable success as a model ever since he was discovered by Motreal ad agency Giovanni after starring in an independent Canadian film, Danny In the Sky.

Born in 1981, Pepin is from a small town in rural Quebec, but moved as quickly as he could to Montreal. He moved there when he was sixteen to study fine art and design. 

His modeling career came his way largely by accident, according to a biography on Pepin's website, but he's pursued it with relish since being handed the opportunity. He's modeled for Ralph Lauren, A&F, and many more fashion houses and has posed for some of the world's best-known photographers.
