This is a page highlighting the career of French Canadian actor François Arnaud.

You've seen François's incredible performance as reluctantly dutiful son turned dark Machiavellian prince Cesare Borgia on the Borgias. You've seen him as down on his luck psychic Manfred Bernardo on Midnight, Texas. You probably know him now as groundbreaking queer hockey star Scott Hunter in Heated Rivalry. But have you seen the other 30+ films and 10+ tv series he's appeared in?

We have. Follow us on our journey as we celebrate all of his work, older & current, and rejoice with us!

No AI. Completely fan-run. Here for fun and occasional uncontrolled bursts of fannish joy.

UPDATED 1/15/2026:

It's become apparent to us that Tumblr isn't a good platform to express fannish joy any longer. The tone around here is becoming more in line with Twitter and that's not our scene or anything we want to participate in.

Francois has said multiple times in interviews over many years that his private life is not up for dissection or discussion. The high quality of his work as an actor and his good character speak volumes for themselves. The speculation, gossip, rumors, and theories have moved beyond the boundaries of fannish curiosity into something disrespectful, frightening, and downright unacceptable, as has the simple disregard by people calling themselves fans who continue to feed into gossip, fan the flames, and magnify baseless rumors about his personal life.

We're out. Find us on Instagram if you'd like to engage with a celebratory fannish perspective of his work and career.

Hey so I haven’t been able to find a Discord server for Midnight, TX, so I made one myself! I’m still gettin’ in all organized n stuff, but a few members joinin would be swell ;P

Honestly, I don’t remember it, but I think it was obviously to make her an unlikeable character (that, and the whole ‘putting bobo in a cell with people who wanna beat him up’ thing) so that when she was killed by the rev we wouldn’t really hold it against him?  

But honestly, yes I’d so ship Fiji and Olivia, tbh.  But, i’ll def. settle for Bobo and Fiji!!  I was sorta worried when he came on over and was like “That hug...” because i didn’t want them to make it happen so fast.  But with the way they handled it (him t o t a l l y friendzoning her) gave me hope that we may actually have a slow burn ship on our hands.

I noticed in the last episode of ‘Midnight Texas’ that the Rev had two holes in his one ear for earrings. On the side where the scar is on his face. I couldn’t get a good look at the other ear. Now I would love to see a fanfiction story where Manfred and the Rev discuss piercings. Maybe have Emilio give Manfred some earrings that he doesn’t wear anymore.

In the book Manfred has multiple piercings. TV Manfred appears to just have one in each ear.
