Moe Jeudy-Lamour is a Canadian film and television actor from Montreal, Quebec,[1] best known for his role as Thierry Zoreaux / "Van Damme" on Ted Lasso.[2]

He is of Haitian descent,[3] and was raised as an Orthodox Jew in Montreal.[4] He studied political science at Concordia University with the plan of going into law,[1] but decided to pursue acting, a dream he had always felt to be unattainable, after unexpectedly meeting Orlando Jones while working at Future Shop.[1]

He has also had supporting or guest roles in the films Barney's Version, Gerontophilia, Trailer Park Boys: Don't Legalize It, Race, King Dave and Bon Cop, Bad Cop 2, and the television series 19-2, Being Human, Unité 9, District 31 and Bad Blood, as well as roles on stage.[5]
