Profile
After participating in a first commercial ad at the age of eight, Thivierge's career started very early at the age of eight when he had his first minor television and film roles on Épopée rock, Manon, The Years of Dreams and Revolt (Les Années de rêves), The Alley Cat (Le Matou) and The Dame in Colour (La Dame en couleurs) in 1984 and 1985.
By the mid-2000s, Lemay-Thivierge had begun taking leading roles in Quebec films, including Nitro and Les 3 p'tits cochons in 2007. Les 3 p'tits cochons was the highest-grossing Quebec film of the year, while Nitro ranked second among Quebec productions. Lemay-Thivierge also played Maxim Marois, a paraplegic lawyer, in the 2006 television series Lance et compte: La revanche.
During his lengthy acting career, Thivierge participated in a total of 30 films and television series including Le Négociateur, Casino, Les Immortels, Chambres en Ville and Ramdam. In addition, in 2004, Thivierge produced the film, Trois petits coups and also starred in theater and musical plays, while he occasionally co-hosted radio shows such as the morning show C't'encore drôle on CKMF-FM in Montreal.
From 2021 to 2023, he was the host of Chanteurs masqués, the Quebec adaptation of the Masked Singer franchise. He lost the show due to a controversial video made when hiking in a wooded trail in which he filmed himself hugging a tree tagged with a racial slur, which he claims not to have seen.

Thivierge was in a relationship with Quebec actress Mariloup Wolfe whom he met in 2001. The couple have two children, Manoé and Miro. Thivierge also has a daughter, Charlie, from a previous relationship. Mariloup and Guillaume split up on November 13, 2015.
