Health Canada Warning, Scrotal Origami, and Great Directing
I want to know what a director wants to see me do in a scene but not tell me how to do it.
Doug Ford, Back-to-School Pictures, and My Hearing
Whenever someone starts following me on Instagram and likes a picture, I automatically wonder why they didn’t like all the other ones. #needyactor
Netflix Messages, Dental Issues, and Bad Blood
If I HAD to be a tall handsome Jew, I’d be Ari Cohen. But Jeff Goldblum would be a very, very close runner up.
Ella’s Return, Self-Tapes, and the Sears Ontario Drama Festival

Charlottesville, My Circumcision, and Taste of the Danforth

Belly Button Piercings, Dumb Joke of the Week, and George A. Romero
Doctor Who is now going to be played by a woman. Which I support entirely and fully. But that certainly doesn’t mean I’m going to start watching the fucking thing.
Omar Khadr, Wonderland, and Generosity
I’m not so much angry about the $10 million Khadr is getting as I am sad about all those fucking giant ducks we won’t be getting as a result.
Things God Wants You to Know, Overheard On Set, and Father’s Day
My favourite line overheard on set last week: “How should I know? I’m not a meteorologist. I’m a background performer.” – Anthony Tran
The Tony Awards, Dufferin Mall, and a Don Cherry Fringe Show
Whenever I write Dufferin Mall without capitalizing it, autocorrect turns it into “suffering” mall. Autocorrect has never been more bang-the-fuck-on.
