"Bubbles" is played by a guy named Mike Smith, he actually has a pretty extensive musical background, here's his bio:
http://www.tv.com/mike-smith/person/103817/biography.htmlMike Smith currently plays the character "Bubbles" in the hit Canadian television series The Trailer Park Boys.
He was born and raised in Thorburn, Nova Scotia. He started playing hockey at the age of four but showed early signs of musical genius when he learned to play guitar at the age of seven. Continuing with both hobbies for the majority of his life, Mike eventually gave up hockey to concentrate on being a musician.
He attended St. Francis Xavier University where he earned a degree in English. In 1992, Mike's career in music began to take off. He played guitar and was one of the principal songwriters in the band Sandbox and signed a record deal with EMI in Canada and Nettwerk in the U.S. Nominated for a Juno Award, East Coast Music Awards and a Casby Award, Sandbox released two albums with EMI and Nettwerk ? Bionic and A Murder In The Glee Club.
In 1999, Mike started composing music for film and television and has worked as a sound mixer on such feature films as The Weight of Water starring Sean Penn and Elizabeth Hurley, and Serendipity starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale.
While sound mixing for his friend, director Mike Clattenburg, on a pilot project titled The Trailer Park Boys, Mike met actors Robb Wells and John Paul Tremblay. Goofing around one day on set, Mike was imitating a character he had been doing for years. Mike Clattenburg liked the character so much he decided to use the "Bubbles" character in a short movie called The Cart Boy. Later he wrote the same character into the first season of The Trailer Park Boys series and the rest is history.
When Mike Smith makes public appearances he normally does so as his character "Bubbles". In fact he appeared as foul-mouthed "Bubbles" in the music video Legal by Canadian artist Snow. There was so much swearing that most of his dialogue had to be bleeped out. He also appeared with fellow The Trailer Park Boys actors Robb Wells (Ricky) and John Paul Tremblay (Julian) in The Tragically Hip's music video, The Darkest One, featuring Don Cherry. Just before that, Mike joined Robb and John Paul on a cross-Canada tour with the musical group, Our Lady Peace.
Mike's career does sometime take him away from his life on The Trailer Park Boys, as he recently worked on the US cable pilot Espia as writer and musical director.
Mike Smith is currently engaged to American actress Nichole Hiltz, whom he met on the set of the upcoming feature length film The Trailer Park Boys Movie. Aside from a new love in his life the movie will likely give Mike Smith new found fame and fans outside of Canada.

Mike Smith: (On being typecast as Bubbles) I'm not really at all worried because when I don't have my chin stuck out or have the glasses on, no one recognizes me. If I play a role in something else, nobody will ever know I was Bubbles. (edit)
Mike Smith: (On the hit show The Trailer Park Boys) We?d love to see it go on as long as we can do it for. Just so long as it?s funny. The majority of the people in the park where we filmed loved it. A few were offended by it too. I think they thought we were making fun of people living in trailer parks, but that?s not it at all. This show is about humanity and reality generally. (edit)
Mike Smith: (On the hit show The Trailer Park Boys being nominated for a Gemini Award) I don't really pay much attention to awards. It's cool we got nominated, but we're probably going to fucking lose.
