What has been your favorite role?
I absolutely loved playing a police officer on Joe Pickett. Seems like I’m pretty much type cast as a police officer lol.

You don’t need to go off-shore to get the catch of the day!
Some of the freshest finds are here in Canada, like the new hit series Saint-Pierre. 
Reel in the party that will put performers first & keep electing to #BuyCanadianWatchCanadian

No need to scramble for loose change or bang on the glass, choosing a CanCon snack is only a couple of buttons away.
Skip those “other” stale options and #BuyCanadianWatchCanadian instead. 
Amazing new series like CBC’s North of North will fill you up – with national pride!

The Motion Picture Association-the powerful US lobby group representing Hollywood’s biggest studio, is pressuring the US government to dismantle Canadian film & TV policies in upcoming negotiations.
