- For 20 years, Roy was an active member of Mira Foundation, a non-profit, community-based organization which provides and trains guide and service dogs for the visually and physically challenged people.
- He enjoys sports, particularly hockey, sky-diving, and golf. His hobbies include astronomy and physics (his interests in high school). He learned to play the cello as a boy and, at times, still plays, sometimes in dramatic roles. For the past few years, between television and film projects, he has been occupied with learning to sail; he owns a couple of sailboats, and he is custom-outfitting the larger aluminum-keeled vessel in preparation for extended ocean voyages.
- Was approached for a leading role in an American TV series, after the completion of La Femme Nikita (TV series); but he declined it because he wanted to return home (from Toronto, Ont.) to Québec. (The title of the series is not public knowledge.)
- Was approached by Jon Cassar to play a part in the fifth season of 24. He declined doing so.
- He won a Genie award for his role of Alexandre Tourneur in Mémoires affectives (2004).
