Dr. Bellows in
the Oak Island Mystery
Our friends had
a Murder Mystery set on Oak Island. Here I am as Doctor Bellows with
my Nurse (Marnie Westerman) and famous Hollywood actor Henry (Frank
Nickel). Thanks to Mike Leeson for the photo.

This is
me as a Bumpy-headed alien in one of the many Vancouver-based science
fiction television series.

2006

We formed Slasher
Equity Co-op and produced Cut! by Lyle Victor Albert at
the Beaumont Studios. This cast photo shows (front R to L) me as
Clyde, Prince of Denmark, Allison MacDonald as Nippletitus, Jacqueline
Becher as Stanleys Mother Mrs. Wowalski, and (top back) David
Wallace as Fiddleditch, the butler cut from every Oscar Wilde play.
>> Spring
of 2005 - finds me on Vancouver Island, clean-shaven but soon to
be wearing a fake moustache for one of my multiple characters in "Arsenic
and Old Lace" at Chemainus Theatre. With two small roles and an
Equity contract, it provides me with lots of time to get organized and
enjoy the glorious Spring in the Bannana Belt temperate rain forest
of Southwest BC- I really love living in this part of the world.
>> Jacqueline
Becher and I will be shooting a short film later in the Summer.
I can't say too much- I don't want to jinx it.

Christmas 2004 -I dyed my hair and grew a beard for Bad Guy #2
"Lord Elpus" in the "Goldilocks" Panto at the Burr
Theatre. My performance contained a Monty Python french accent and knock-about
slapstick that almost broke my nose.
>> Feb.
2005 - also at the Burr Theatre", I shaved the beard but kept
the moustache to play "Manley Carstairs" the male lead role
in "The Housekeeper". This time I played an upper-class, high
status fussbudget brit- twit; a great work-out.
