· – (On being this actor in this town at this time)
Well, not much has changed -and everything has. Mr. Harper got in with a minority. The dollar went down and up, but mostly down. Actra voted to strike and is now voting to accept a new agreement covering commercials. I got a gig, shooting a movie called Medium Raw. Here in Toronto. Play a killer who doesn’t speak. It is ironic how often I play a silent character since I love the sound of my own voice. Almost as much as I love my own jokes. It does feel good, though, to be working again. And I’m not worried about being type cast, cuz I’d rather be type cast than not cast… Anyway, the big thing today is the American presidential election. If the world got to vote, Obama would be a shoo-in. But somehow McCain -and you gotta admire his perseverance- has stayed within vote riggin’ distance in most of the polls. Keeps it exciting down to the end, I guess. So, after it is all over, let’s just hope there is a big sigh of relief and we can all get back to doing whatever it is we need to do to survive and better our whole wide world.
