John Paul Tremblay (Julian) was born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia. When he was a young lad, John Paul (also known as JP and Jape by his friends) moved across the water to Dartmouth – actually to the Dartmouth suburb, Cole Harbour. It was there that he met Robb Wells (Ricky), who is three years his junior. In these early years, John Paul and Robb were not close. On the contrary, John Paul thought Robb was a little dork and Robb thought John Paul was the greasy bastard who owned a dirt bike. By the time they reached high school, however, the boys became best buddies. It was in high school that John Paul and Robb started hanging around with Mike Clattenburg. From that point forward, there was no looking back for John Paul Tremblay and the three of them collaborated in creating the shorts, One Last Shot and Trailer Park Boys.

His first acting role came in Clattenburg's award-winning short film, One Last Shot. This was soon followed by his role as Julian in Mike's pilot, Trailer Park Boys and the U.S. feature, Virginia's Run. John Paul recently sold J. R. Capone’s - a chain of pizza restaurants on Prince Edward Island that was first opened by himself and Robb Wells.

The success of Trailer Park Boys has opened many new doors for John Paul both here in Canada as well as south of the border. Such credits include a fisherman alongside Robb Wells in Virginia’s Run, the lead role of Moe in the U.S feature film Hole-In-One starring Meatloaf and Michelle Williams from Dawson’s Creek. Also, together with Robb Wells (Ricky) and Mike Smith (Bubbles), John Paul was a featured guest on the cross-Canada Fear of the Trailer Park tour with Our Lady Peace. He also starred in The Tragically Hip’s music video, The Darkest One featuring Gord Downie and Don Cherry, and directed by Mike Clattenburg. John Paul and Robb Wells are also collaborating on a couple of feature film scripts, which they hope to have produced in the near future.
