Maurice Lalonde is a fictional character from Highlander: The Series, a mortal homeless cook portrayed by actor Michel Modo.

In "Unholy Alliance Part Two" (1994), Maurice is introduced as a homeless man squatting Duncan MacLeod's (Adrian Paul) barge.

At first MacLeod throws him out and has him clean up the mess on the barge, but he soon finds Maurice's connections in the grande cuisine world of Paris useful when he tracks Xavier St.

"[2] In "Pharaoh's Daughter" (1994), Maurice takes an instant shine for two thousand-year-old Immortal Nefertiri (Nia Peeples).

Although he is supposed to look after her, while having dinner with her he is knocked down unconscious by Hunter Victor Benedetti (Jerry di Giacomo) who is killed trying to murder Nefertiri.

He made a final guest appearance in "The Modern Prometheus", the next-to-last episode of season five, though most of his part was cut.

Maurice owns a small boat "in a state of disrepair,"[3] the Momo, which is anchored next to MacLeod's barge.

"[5] The script of "Unholy Alliance Part Two" (1994) describes Maurice as "a rubber-faced man in his forties,"[9] with a fondness for wine.

Creative Consultant David Abramowitz explains, "As this was a French and Canadian co-production, we had to bring in a couple of French characters and we brought in wine-loving, fun-loving Maurice, which we took a lot of heat from the French, mostly because they weren't so crazy about having a wine-loving, fun-loving character and I guess they thought that the character we'd brought in to play Maurice, would have a lot more philosophical and intellectual questions to ask, rather than things like, 'I wonder what we're doing for dinner tonight ?
