Joining me in the room as always is lovely Tanya online. We have squirrely Matt and the vacuous Victor. And joining us this week, she's a Canadian actress known for roles in films like Hunter Hunter, Shelby Oaks, and TV shows like The Disappearance, but we all know and love her as the object of Shorsey's obsession, Laura Moore. Please join me making some noise for Camille Sullivan. Wondrous. Speaker 1
Oh my lord. Oh my god. Oh my god. Speaker 0
Wait. Wait. Wait. Speaker 3
Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Speaker 1
I regret nothing. Speaker 3
Welcome to the produce stand, Camille. How are you? Speaker 3
Warned you this that was an aggressive, sound bite. Speaker 0
We've learned over time we have to give people a heads up because they step all over it. Like, let's let it run. Just just just roll with it. Right? Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah. Of course. Of course. Yeah. A warning is a good idea. Speaker 3
Yeah. There you go. I'm I'm trying to work on one for, you know, more of our Shorzy content, but I can't find anything as aggressive as that in Shorzy yet, believe it or not. Anyway Well, Speaker 1
keep looking. Keep looking. Speaker 3
So, where are you speaking to us from? Speaker 3
Vancouver. Nice. Like, in city proper or whereabouts? Speaker 1
Yeah. I live in city proper. Yeah. Speaker 3
Very cool. Is that where you are from originally? Speaker 1
No. I grew up in Toronto. Speaker 1
But, I moved here, you know, ages ago. So what Vancouver's my home Speaker 3
Now. So how how old were you when you moved over? Speaker 1
I was, that was good. It was good catching yourself. Not how long ago. Yeah. How old were you when? I appreciate it. I was seventeen. Speaker 3
Okay. So you you spent your formative years in in Ontario. I I'm so what part of, like, Ontario or Toronto are you in? Or were you in? Speaker 1
I was in Toronto proper. I was downtown Toronto. Yeah. Speaker 3
Okay. Okay. So you went to, like, high school in Toronto and then moved was did you move forward for acting? Is that why you moved? Speaker 1
Well, not really. I went to I went to actually, I went to the Etobicoke School of the Arts Mhmm. Speaker 1
I just commuted over there, and I took painting there. And then when I came out to go to university, I went to BC, and then that's where I sort of started, doing more acting and then got into the theater program there. Speaker 3
Oh, okay. So acting was never part of, like, in when you're in high school, you you didn't you never considered Speaker 1
it? Not really. Like, I did a couple because I went to an arts high school. I did a couple of plays there, and I was like, this is cool. But I didn't really see it as something I could, like, realistically do. It seemed like a a sort of an idiotic notion. Speaker 3
Right. I mean I mean but as it turns out, I mean, we're gonna talk about your career. You you've done well for yourself. Speaker 1
Yes. Also, I'm not fit for anything else as it turns out. Speaker 2
Well, wait well, wait a second. What about your visual arts? Speaker 3
What kind of visual work? Speaker 1
I still do it. I still do it. Mhmm. Like, as a hobby. I mean, I don't know how much I would sell. The last one I do is my cat. So Speaker 0
Well, that's where it's at. Speaker 0
So And which and which medium are you do you focus on most with your visual arts, though? Speaker 1
I usually do oil, oil paints, but I I not the cat. I was painting a different cat. I adopted this other cat, and he's old, and he's a he's a menace. He's a million menace. So he's like, I had the paint out. He was in the paints. He ran all over the apartment. I was just chasing him for, like, an hour. So never again. I gotta figure something else out. Speaker 3
Very nice. So, you say you moved over to Vancouver. You're already seventeen. Did your like, your family move or did you moved yourself? Speaker 1
No. I moved myself. I I came and I went to university. Speaker 3
Oh, for UBC. That's right. Okay. Yeah. So in terms of act like, what what got you interested in acting then? Speaker 1
You know, I was always interested. Like, I've watched a lot of movies when I was growing up, and I went to see my mom took me to to to Stratford to see theater and stuff like that. And so I was always interested, but like I said, it just didn't seem like a real thing I could pursue. So it took me sort of going into university and seeing other people go, like, I'm gonna throw my hat in the ring here and be like, okay. Well, you know, how how bad can it turn out? Speaker 3
Right. Well, as it turned out, it turned out really well for you. Now looking at your credits here and I see that you have some writing credits as well. So, but we'll get to those in a second. But first, is your first role, on Dead Man's Gun TV series, would that be your first, like, act like, paid acting job? Speaker 1
Yeah. My first, on on TV. I had done some theater before, but so yeah. Speaker 3
Okay. Now that one there, narrated by Kris Kristofferson. Did you get to meet him or or is that No. Speaker 1
Not at all. Not at all. Each, like, each episode was totally encapsulated. So mine was with, oh, I can't remember his name, but he was on nine zero two one o oh, Brian Austin Green. Speaker 1
Bad boyfriend on it, or I was his whatever girlfriend that he treated poorly. And then yeah. It was it was fun. Speaker 0
Not good to you? Speaker 1
No. I mean, he he personally was very nice guy, but, no, in terms of the show. Speaker 1
And it was, like, my first scene. I guess my first scene ever on film, I think. I am supposed to run up and I jump in his arms, and I run up and I just flattened him right to the ground. Speaker 2
He deserved it. Yeah. Definitely. Speaker 3
As it shows here, your first TV series was Beggars and Choosers with, well, not with Christina Hendricks, but she was also, like, a and had a spot on there. So would that have been your first kind of full TV series? Speaker 1
No. No. I did, like, a couple three episodes of that. Very small Speaker 1
If I'm to think, like like, really TV series, I did, well, Da Vinci's Inquest is probably the first thing I really checked it on with. Mhmm. And I think I did one called Big Sound for a while, which was exciting. Speaker 3
Yeah. That one was interesting. Yeah. Not a lot of, information on that one, though. Like, I looked it up and No. Speaker 1
It's like they aired it and then, you know you know, disappeared it forever. But it was, like, a fun it was a cool show to work on. Speaker 3
Yeah. Victor would probably enjoy it because it's all about the music industry. Right? Speaker 1
Yeah. And there's really that's kinda lacking out there is a good TV show about the music industry. Speaker 3
Yeah. For sure. Yeah. Speaker 1
It was fun. It was funny. I can't it's so long ago. I can't remember any names, anyone involved in any capacity. Speaker 3
But but you mentioned Da Vinci's inquest. And for our American listeners who might not have heard of the show, I mean, that was a big show up here. It ran a while, and it was all over the place. What was that like being on that show? Speaker 1
That was cool. Like, I started I don't know how many seasons they'd already been going. I started toward the end. Mhmm. And, I was really nervous. I was really young, and Nicholas Cavill is so good. He's such a good actor. Like, he's just unbelievably good. So it was really intimidating, but he was so, you know, cool and fun and, like, so before I went on to play cop in a regular capacity, I played I did one episode where I was, playing someone addicted to drugs. Speaker 1
And, so I'm I'm I'm my season with Biggles Campbell, and I accidentally spat in his face. I'm like, oh, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I spat in your face. He's like, no. That's great. Do it. Yeah. Speaker 3
He was probably like, that was surreal. Thank you. Speaker 1
Yeah. That's more. Speaker 0
Wasn't there wasn't there a Friends episode with that where Joey was I don't know if you watched Friends at all, but Joey was acting alongside, oh my god. What's his name? Played I don't know. There was another famous actor. Speaker 1
Oh, that sounds familiar. Speaker 0
Oh my god. I'm blanking on the guy's name. He's, Gary Gary Old man was in the show, and they were going toe to toe. And and Gary Old man character was like, no. You've gotta spit in my face. Right. Right. That's how that's how you get it across, and they were just just going at each other. Speaker 1
I do remember that. Sorry. Speaker 0
Now you know where they got to be. Too. Speaker 1
It's totally a real thing. Speaker 3
In, in two thousand, it looked like you you maybe your first film role, was screwed. Would that be right? Speaker 1
Yeah. That might have been my first film role. I was the flower shop clerk. Speaker 3
Yeah. Well, check out this I Speaker 1
don't remember what my line was. Speaker 3
Yeah. Check out this cast. Norm Macdonald, Dave Chappelle, Danny DeVito. Speaking of spitting, Sherman Hemsley, and Sarah Silverman. I mean, wow. That's did you get to meet any of them, or or were you, like, overwhelmed? Speaker 1
I met Norm McDonald. Speaker 1
That's it. It was, like, literally, he came in and bought flowers from you. And there he goes there. Yeah. You know? It was basically Speaker 3
That's pretty impressive, though. The well, like, when you know, you're pretty young or new still in the role there. Were you intimidated with seeing all these people around, or you're you're so focused on what you're doing? Speaker 1
Yeah. But I was intimidated on every set for for starting and even I mean, really still. It's always kind of like a yeah. It's always kinda nerve wracking. It's you know, it's always like you're at lunch at a new school, and you're like, you don't know anybody, but everybody's cool. Speaker 3
I mean, though, but in the same year, you were in best in show as well. And now talk about names there. Christopher Guest, Fred Willard, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Jennifer Kulich, Parker Pose I mean, that well, it must have been a big big year for you. Was that, like, the the year where you're like, okay. I can make a go at this acting thing? Speaker 1
No. Not at all. No? Sorry. No. But the question now Speaker 1
No. No. I just did like, I did everyone was super nice. And, of course, like, I was fans of theirs, and it was amazing. But, you know, again, it's like I came in. I I did, like I'm like, they're ready for you, and and then that's it. You know? That's all I did. So I remember I went to the bathroom when we're on a break, and they couldn't find me, and I got big trouble. And that's where what I remember from the day. Speaker 3
Oh, wow. I mean, so at what point did you realize or decide, okay. I can do this acting thing. I don't need to I don't know what what you might have been doing part time or whatever, like but, you know, you're like, I'm gonna do Speaker 1
this full time. Well, to okay. So I had I held on to this job as an usher that where I worked one day a month maybe. Speaker 1
And I made, like, in total, like, eight hundred dollars for the year. And I held on to that job for so much longer than I should have. Probably, like, six or so years when I was already fully making my living acting. I was like, just in case, I better check on to this. Speaker 0
The most random fallback. Yeah. Speaker 1
This will this will save me if I get into trouble. So, yeah, then I finally quit that. They're like, we need a regular schedule. I'm like, fuck you. I quit. Nice. Speaker 3
Well, I've only been in Vancouver once, Speaker 3
I do know about the city is it's not the the cheapest city to live in. So an eight hundred dollar a year job how do you even survive? Okay. Speaker 1
Yeah. Not even in advance. So, you know, I spent it on beer. They also let me drink beer there, so that was pretty good. Oh, okay. There was savings there. Speaker 3
So, yeah, there's some perks. There's some perks. Oh, yeah. Speaker 3
The l word was another one that had so many huge, huge names in it, and you're, you're on a couple episodes of that. Can you talk about that one at all? Speaker 1
Yeah. Again, a marine boy. Speaker 1
do much on it. I was in the scene with this woman. I had a girlfriend. She's very sweet, and, she had full nudity as I recall. And I felt I felt concerned. She seemed fine with it, but I felt concerned. Right. It was you know? She's like, oh, as long as you're good with it, you know, you didn't get pressured. This thing seemed fine. Speaker 3
Yeah. Well, now that now, I mean, all film sets have, like, these intimacy consultants and stuff that that kind of, I guess, advocate for the actors. But, like, when did that start? Like, how how long ago would that have been? Speaker 1
For me, only, well, I think it really started with around the me too movement. Speaker 1
Before that, no. I've done some love scenes that were just it was just wild west. It was Speaker 1
like, whatever. You're here. You're dude. And then I used to be doing this. I was like, what? What? Yeah. So yeah. And then, but then I did work I have worked with intimacy coordinators since in the last couple or three years. Speaker 1
And I it's a good thing. At first, I was kinda like, is this necessary? But, I mean, I hate to be that person that's like that, but it's just because of my because I done it on my own without worrying about it. You know, you learn to say no. Yeah. But, it actually just makes the whole scene better aside from being safer and and being there for people who don't feel comfortable saying no. They know what they're doing. They make it look sexy. They make it look cool. Like, it's just better. You know? It's like having a bike tour gator. It's it's good. Speaker 3
Yeah. That's awesome. I I I wish I had her name offhand, but there's this one TikTok follow of of an intimate intimacy consultant. And it is amazing all the thought and all everything that goes into that role and and and how, like, how much she advocates for both both sides. It's not just, you know, her saying no to the director, but maybe talking to the director about how maybe it could be better if we do it this way or or whatever. Right? And, it's it's an interesting part of the filmmaking process that I don't think we we much think about. Speaker 1
Yeah. I think so. And, like, so they you know, they'll talk to the director, and they get, you know, what does the director want? And then they'll talk to the actors. They'll go, like, what'll what are you comfortable with? And then finding a way to make everybody happy. Mhmm. I I I think it really does. Speaker 0
Yeah. I guess if you have full alignment, there's more authenticity there and more comfort across the board. So the result probably comes a stronger out output. Speaker 1
Oh, yeah. I think so. Definitely. It's gonna be sexier because everyone's gonna be comfortable and invested. You're not gonna feel like, you know, like, sometimes you'll be doing a scene or, you know, used to be. And then, like, all of a sudden, the hand goes somewhere, and you're like, you're having to grab that hit. Speaker 1
Yeah. Just continue with the scene. Speaker 1
It's like it's distracting. Speaker 3
So it's like the Wild West before all of this. Yeah. Speaker 1
It really was. You had to be very comfortable saying no. I remember fighting so hard for a new thong. It would've taken me a big fight. I was like, I will not do it without the thong. Speaker 1
gonna tell you it's gonna be. It's Speaker 3
okay. We're not that kind of podcast. One of the credits that stand out on on IMDB, just because Sany and I were big fans of this show was and you're only in the in the pilot, but Battlestar Galactica I mean, you're in the pilot, so you you've you've been on that set. And was that all in shot in Vancouver? Speaker 1
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It was all shot in Vancouver. Speaker 1
It was cool. As I as I recall which I think okay. So there was the original Battlestar, and then there was a different one. And I remember I was in one in a fighter jet. Speaker 1
was super cool. They had, like, lost somebody, and so they called me that day, and they're like, you go and do it at Cirque. So I was in a fighter jet. I basically just, like, flew it, and then, you know, got shot. It was excellent. Speaker 0
Yeah. Very cool. Speaker 0
sorry. Really, really quick. Has has all of your work or most of your work been, Canada side, or have you gone down into the US or other places to do any any shoots? Speaker 1
I've only, been to the US to shoot one time. Speaker 1
Recently, I went to Cleveland, and that movie is coming out, Shelby Oaks. It's gonna premiere at the Fantasia Film Festival this year, actually. And it's a horror horror movie directed by Chris Duckman, and they just they'd seen me in Hunter Hunter, and they just came at me with an offer. So I was like, yeah. Sure. I mean, I never really I never really sought out going to the States because I like Canada, and I work here a lot. Speaker 1
yeah, but that was a fun that was a fun cool thing. Speaker 3
Yeah. That was a Speaker 0
Sorry. Quick follow-up to that is, was there do you find it challenging maintaining work in Canada? Because I know our industry is a little different than, obviously, south of the border there. A lot of people says a lot more opportunity. But even when we talked to Jared, we know that he left LA to come back to Toronto because he wanted to work Canada side. But did you ever feel any pressure that you that you had to go there, or was was work always pretty steady and you were you were good? Speaker 1
Oh, I definitely felt pressure. Like, I I should go there. Like Yeah. And at one point, I went so far as to get my paperwork in order and, like, I was gonna make a move, and then it just wasn't I just didn't want to. You know what I mean? At the end of the day, I just didn't want to. And I work enough up here that I can make a living no problem. That's true. The only thing I encounter that's a bit frustrating is sometimes I know that Canadian producers will want me for something, but then instead, American partners will sign on and then they want someone from the States. So it's hard to compete because people from the States don't know anything I've been in. They've never heard of it. God bless them. It's Canadian stuff. Yeah. No problem. And, Canadians want you to have been in something American. Speaker 0
Yeah. Fair enough. Speaker 3
I mean, you've got eighty eight credits on your IMDB plus two. Speaker 1
I don't give you a break. Right? Speaker 2
Yeah. Including Supergirl. We can't miss you. We Speaker 3
were on Supergirl. Speaker 2
Episode, but it's still pretty cool. Yeah. Speaker 1
Supergirl was fun. That was a blast. I had those shooty things. I got to do some action. It's a little fighting and stuff. That was super fun. Speaker 0
Is that the technical term, shooty things? Speaker 1
Yeah. Shooty things, simply. Yeah. Speaker 3
So, well, I mean, if you were to pick a genre because it looks like, you know, you do you're doing a lot of, like, kind of, dramas and thrillers, cop procedurals, a little bit of, horror. I mean, Shorzy looks like one of the few comedic roles that you've had. So, I mean, what's your preference? Speaker 1
Shorzy is definitely, one of the few comedic roles I've done. And I you know, Jared offered me the part, and people don't usually think of me for comedy. So I was extremely grateful to be given that chance and, you know, nervous when I showed up because it's it's like I usually do, like, fully crying. That's that's my thing. Speaker 1
And so, you know, it's totally different. And I love doing it, and I'd like to do more of that. And then right now, I'm also doing, I'm really enjoying working in horror. Speaker 1
like just being as cool. The stakes are so high, and there's room to be weird and to go all the way and push the boundaries and stuff. I find that super fun. Speaker 3
Well, I saw a a a clip of a movie you did called Hunter Hunter in twenty twenty, and that, yeah, that was an intense clip that I watched you in that. So and very phase physical too. So do you like, like, the fight scenes and stuff? Speaker 1
Yeah. I really do. I really enjoyed that. Hunter Hunter was all, like, carrying heavy things, dragging bodies through the woods and, running, and and there was a fight in it. And I got to do all that, and it was fantastic. And if they were gonna have they there was some talk about, do you need someone to do the fight for you? I'm like, no. No. I could do it. I won't bash up. And then I got, you know, nervous about it, but it was fine. It was great. And I I loved it. I'd love to do more of it. Speaker 3
Amazing. There's a movie here called, rescued or rescued by Ruby, starring Grant Gustin, from The Flash. What's it like acting with dogs? Speaker 1
Oh, that was so great. Because, usually, it's like when there's a dog there, you're not really allowed to interact with them. They have to stay focused with the trainer. Mhmm. But in this one, the dog was supposed to be unruly, and I was and he was supposed to jump up on me and stuff like that. So I got to interact with him constantly, like, work him up, and it was so much fun. And every time he do something a little bit different, so you had to be you know, it's about the dog. The scene is about the dog. You get that through your head. You just help the dog do the scene, and it's so much fun. Speaker 4
That's really cool. Speaker 3
One last one before we move on to Shorzy. Unspeakable, which was a TV miniseries about the the tainted blood scandal in Canada. I only bring this one up because, you acted alongside Sarah Wayne Wayne Callies who, for those of us or those of our listeners would know is Anita Dick, but she's also, you know, in Prison Break and Walking Dead. Now at the time, twenty nineteen, I think she would have already been on Letterkenny. So were you aware of Letterkenny when you were on that with her? And and did you know anything about that, and and did you ever talk to her about it? Speaker 1
I have not realized that she was on it. Oh. Still, we I didn't I didn't realize that. We didn't talk about it, but I was I mean, I swear of the show. Like, I've known Jared for a long time. Speaker 1
So, yeah. No. I knew about the show, but, no, I didn't put that together. She actually directed one of those episodes too. Oh, yeah. Speaker 3
Yeah. It looked like it's an interesting, story for sure. True story. So those again, our American listeners, if you wanna know, it was like a big hep c thing that happened in our blood banks and, yeah, big big scandalous story up here. Yeah. Sarah Wade Cali, she played Anita Dick. She was the Mennonite's wife, John Jonathan Torrance's wife on Letterkenny. Speaker 3
And did a great job too. Like, every one of our favorites. Alright. So let well well, before we move on to that, you mentioned your do you prefer, like, films or TV series or it doesn't matter. It's all it'll work for you. Speaker 1
That doesn't matter to me. It's all it's all good. As long as I like I like to keep moving, I get a little bit bored when there's when it's you know, I hate to say it, but when it's a higher budget and you spend more time waiting, I I I I get bored. Speaker 0
Right. So Shorzy must have been your happy place. We know the pay we know the pace that they work. Speaker 3
They work fast. And, I mean, you're only I mean, you're probably only in a few days, per season when when they're shooting. Right? Like because the scene you're in, you know, they're pretty contained. Speaker 1
Oh, yeah. It's just quick. It's usually, like, I don't know, between there are, like, three or four days. Speaker 2
Yeah. So Especially season two where all the scenes are in a doorway. Yeah. Speaker 1
Yeah. That was one day. She she had no problem. Speaker 3
Every every all of our listeners are happy to see more and more Laura Moore scenes, though, because especially last season. We won't talk about season three yet because it hasn't dropped in the US. But last season, those scenes between you and and and Jared are are some of the best. Speaker 1
Yeah. Well, we we so much. Speaker 0
Yeah. And we actually we recently did so when we're in our off season right now and we're about to start reviewing, season three, we invite a lot of our listeners to sort of co produce their own episodes. So one of our listeners, Chad, came forward with a best of season two Shorzy, which really what it turned out to be was a best of you, because it was just basically ten clips of every Laura Moore and and Shorezy scene throughout the whole. So he was telling a love story. We didn't know that going into it, but it was a lot of fun. So if you're curious, though, we did a whole episode just about Laura Moore scenes. Speaker 1
Yeah. Oh, lovely. Yeah. Those were really great. Season two, I am those scenes are so fun, so well written, so much fun to do. Oh my god. Speaker 4
The banter between you and Shores, like, it was just so perfect. So so perfect. Speaker 3
And and whip fast. I mean, I don't know, like, you've been in on enough productions. How does, like, the Shorzy production compare in terms of, like, the the fast cutting and and the and the dialogue? Speaker 1
It's oh, I love it. It's so much fun. And all for me is just, like, just make sure I know the shit out of that dialogue so that I could do it backward and forward. I could do it, you know, as fast as we need to go and not get not get, rattled by it. Because then when it's really clipping along, that's when it's so much fun and it's really at its best. Speaker 0
Mhmm. Amazing. So Before we get too far, go. Yeah. You gotta we gotta get how did you get there? Speaker 3
Get to Shorzy. For so you mentioned you knew, Jared from before, I guess. I I I didn't see, any credits, like like, any overlap between you and him and Speaker 1
You're not looking hard? Speaker 3
Oh, no. Which one? Okay. Tell me. Speaker 1
It's the marine three, Homefront. Speaker 3
The marine three. I don't even Speaker 1
see it. Three. It's a I mean, it's a it's a long time ago. But, yes, you're played the sheriff or the deputy sheriff or whatever. Speaker 1
And, my my brother's best friend and also my boyfriend. And so it was like it was a sick you know, my sister gets kidnapped. Right. The marine saves her and all this acts stuff happens. But that's how we met, on that. And so yeah. And then we became friends. And when he lived in Vancouver, sometimes I'd help him audition and vice versa, just, you know, taping or whatever if he had to. And, yeah, and then he moved away and became hugely successful. Speaker 1
And then and then came back to me for a role later. Speaker 3
Amazing. Alright. I found finally found it. Yeah. I I completely understood. So, well Speaker 0
We didn't do our research. We apologize. So Speaker 2
one job, Al. One job. Speaker 3
So that's where you guys met was on the set of, Marine three? Yep. And how did he approach you then for the were you the first one he contacted for Loramore, or did you have to audition? Speaker 1
I didn't audition. I was working on something else, and I just got a call. You know, do you wanna do this. I think my agent may have submitted me. I'm not sure, I'm not sure how that came about. Although, I know it was because he he likes me, and he's familiar with my work. And so, yeah, it happened that way. Speaker 3
Very cool. Did he did he tell you what the role is gonna be like? I'm I'm gonna be completely obsessed with you for Speaker 1
No. Oh my god. No. And even having read the script, well, the first thing I wasn't ready for because when I got there, he's just so, like, it's so effusive. Right? Like, I was just, like, I was honest and blushing. Speaker 3
So, I mean, how how how did you like, when you joined the I mean, it was a brand new cast, so it's not like you're joining a a set cast. Like, you were there from the beginning. How did that all gel? How did you find that all gelled? Speaker 1
Everyone's so great. Everyone's so nice on it, both the cast and the crew. It's the nicest grouping of people. So everyone's really super welcoming. And even, like, I'm only in a few days, and most of my scenes are with Jared. So I'm not, like, interacting and then acting wise a lot with a lot with other people, but, everyone is so just so sweet. So it's just a it was a great group of people. It really is. Speaker 0
Mhmm. Yeah. And the and the first I know if if I recall, the first season scene in season one was when you guys were talking in the dog house, if I recall. Speaker 0
Was that the first season that or is that the first scene you guys actually shot as well? Speaker 1
No. I think the first scenes we shot were the ones in the arena, in the Okay. Speaker 0
In the hallway there? Yeah. Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah. And they just they were just fire. It was great. Speaker 0
Did did you guys feel the chemistry? Because we see it on screen, and that's all we talk about is there's, like, real just banger, energy between you two. Was it obvious that you guys are doing as well? Speaker 1
I think I I was surprised. I was surprised by how much, and I think I remember turning to one point going, god, we're cute. Here you go. So Speaker 3
Had you ever seen him with with his jib out before? Speaker 1
I don't think so. I don't think so. Speaker 0
Oh, that's really good. Speaker 3
So you'd mentioned were you were familiar with Letterkenny, but had you watched any of it before you started Shorzy Speaker 1
a good time to tell Speaker 0
you where it is. Well, you're a die hard Canadian actress. Yeah. You're too busy for that. So Speaker 3
Yeah. That's not really. Speaker 1
Not really. No. Sort of it. I mean, a little bit. Not really. Mhmm. Speaker 4
The whole premise of this, of this podcast is that I did not like Letterkenny. So don't feel free to, like yeah. You didn't see it before. Speaker 1
Okay. And it took Speaker 0
me three years till, like, I get Tanya to like the show. Speaker 4
Yeah. There you go. Yeah. Speaker 3
Jared does listen. So you you've outed yourself there. Speaker 1
I know. I'm just so bad. I don't think I ever told. I mean, I'd seen it. I just kinda I wasn't, like, the regular Sure. Speaker 3
It's all good. Now, of course, we told our listeners you're coming on, and they had a bunch of questions. So, some some listener questions here. First one from our buddy, Dennis, in the UK. It's his usual question, and I'm not sure you you could even qualify to answer this. But, his usual question is, who's the best sled on the ice? Now are you able to watch them play at all when you're, there? Or give it Speaker 1
No. Not really. And I wouldn't know anyway because another thing I don't know is anything about hockey. Speaker 2
Oh, so you're not a Canucks fan then? No. I'm not. Poor a Leafs fan. Speaker 1
A Knox fan. I'm just I still I just don't follow it. Speaker 0
Don't worry. Give me I'm with you. Go sports ball. Ball. Like, I'm with you. Speaker 4
Yes. Both Matt and myself are not sports people either. So yeah. Speaker 3
Yeah. During the playoffs, it's knitting time for Tanya. Yeah. Well well, I mean, other than arts and and and acting, what do you like doing for fun? Speaker 1
Oh god. What do you like doing for fun? Speaker 2
So so I'm reading here that and I don't know if this is true because it's I've got it here up on Wikipedia. It says you're into kickboxing and stage combat. Speaker 1
No. I mean, it's not my resume at one point. And I did take it at one point, but I should really take it off there because if you ask me, you know, it would be rough going. But, you know, I I don't know. I I don't do that much. I hang out with my friends. I have so much free time. I often end up going for, like, long walks and just sort of, like I don't know if you've ever you know, the idea, like, you just follow that goose. You know what I mean? Like I know. Speaker 0
it's been the most Canadian thing you've said this whole interview. Speaker 3
Yeah. That makes up for I don't watch hockey and Speaker 0
I follow the goose. If Speaker 2
I follow sports. Speaker 1
Really like you, baby. Yeah. Speaker 3
Yeah. Tobias in Missouri would like to know if you if there's, like, a dream role that you'd you would love that you haven't done yet. Speaker 1
I think I'd like to do, like, a really and I've sort of done this, but I'd really like to lean in even harder into a very bloody revenge role. Speaker 3
Oh. Oh, nice. Interesting. Speaker 2
Oh, wow. Because of the because of the stage combat and the kickbox. Yeah. Speaker 1
Yeah. I wanna fight, and I I wanted to and I wanted to wreak vengeance and work out some of the Speaker 0
to be gruesome. Like, you you wanted no no holding back. Speaker 1
Jaws on the floor. Speaker 0
Hell, yeah. Fuck yeah. Speaker 3
Very cool. Mike from New Jersey, he's, he says, there's a good amount of, your credits seem to be horror and thriller type roles when going between different projects. How difficult is it to drop back into Loramore for the Shoresy Shoots? That's for Mike in New Jersey. Speaker 1
I'd say, you know, it's it's it's so light and fun. It's a pleasure to drop into it. You know? It's like I did right before starting, it came off something very heavy and so much crying and so much just, like, anguish, which is fun too when it's all away, but to drop that. And then to to do the flirtatiousness of it is so fun. Like, that's something I hardly ever do. Like Yeah. Just flirting with it, like, being nice and normal and having a flirtation, I never get to do that. Speaker 3
So wouldn't you like to just do, like oh, go ahead. Speaker 2
So so so so on a scale from one to ten, how close are you to the Laura Moore character? Speaker 1
Oh, I don't know. That was someone else would have to say. I know that I think I'm that far off of it. I mean, there there's definitely quite a bit of me in there. Yeah. Speaker 0
So it comes a little naturally. Yeah. Speaker 1
It does. It's for for good or for bad. Yeah. Speaker 3
I I love this next question for, again, from Mike in New Jersey because he's just shooting a shot here. He said, yesterday was not only Father's Day, but it was also my birthday. Can I get a birthday shout out? He's a big Laura Moore fan. Speaker 1
Oh, okay. Sure. So tell me the name again. Speaker 3
Mike from New Jersey. Speaker 1
Alright. Big shout out to Mike from New Jersey. Happy birthday, buddy. Speaker 3
I think he just made his, his birthday. Speaker 0
Amazing. Yeah. Okay. So going back to, like, some of the scenes with you and Jared, oh, basically, which is most of your scenes. How often or does he make you break? Do you have like, when he's going back and forth, can you hold it together through his nonsense? Speaker 1
It's sometimes it's tough, but I'm pretty good. I'm pretty good. I'm pretty good. I'll hold it together. I'll sometimes hear the crew break it it up. I know. I love it. It's Speaker 1
know, and it's and sometimes he definitely does break it because it's hilarious. And he'll switch it up, and sometimes it's that one little switch up, that two slag off. Speaker 4
I feel like that scene at uncle Eddie's when he's, like, can't even look at you, and then he finally turns around and he's like, holy shit. Like, that that scene seems like it would be really hard Speaker 1
to get through. No. No. It's okay. Because it's, like, have such a rhythm. And if you if you lose the rhythm, you fuck the whole scene. Yeah. So you really gotta stay with it. Speaker 3
Matt made a good point. Most of your scenes, if not all of them, I can't remember now, are with short Jared. If you were to pick some other actors that you would like to have scenes with, what would they be? And maybe, you know, be creative. You're you're a writer as well. What would that scene be? Speaker 1
Oh my god. What would that scene be? I don't know. I'd like to interact a little more with some of with the women Okay. Because I'm I'm I'm so siloed off from them, and I watch the show, and I hope you're doing great stuff. And, like, they're I just like to, you know, have some fun with them. Speaker 3
Yeah. I think that makes sense. I think we should have a scene with the Tasiatellas. I think that would make a lot of sense. Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah. We had one in season in season one, we had one scene. Speaker 3
I remember. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. Jeff from Maine, who just came back from his trip to Sudbury, he wants to know who you where you think is the best place to eat in Sudbury. Speaker 1
Oh, boy. I don't know. Well, Eddie's, obviously. Yeah. I went to I went to Salute for coffee, and that was quite quite nice. Speaker 1
Otherwise, I don't know. I mean, usually when I go, it's pretty cold. So and I don't have a car. So I don't get out that far from the hotel. Speaker 1
And it just that was right there. But I have looked at some places that look good. And one of these days, I will make it out there. Speaker 0
it's a Had you been had you been to Sudbury prior to Sharsie? Speaker 0
That's alright. Neither have we. Speaker 3
And we only live in Toronto. Speaker 1
I did. I did. I shot something in I shot a movie called Ice Soldiers, maybe renamed, in Sudbury with Michael Ironside. And we went to to the cake, and we went to the movie, and it was like it was so fun. Yeah. Speaker 3
Hanging out with Michael Ironside. Yeah. Yeah. It's amazing. That's awesome. Yeah. Don't feel bad. We we live four hours south of Sudbury, and that was our first well, my first time there anyway. I've never been before. There's there's no reason to. Speaker 4
There's some good good food up there, though, for sure. Speaker 3
Yeah. There's a lot of great places. Speaker 1
Will you tell me where where should I eat? Speaker 3
Well, Peppy's for sure. Speaker 0
laugh laughing Buddha was Speaker 3
really good. Was really fun. Speaker 3
Yeah. Yeah. Those two were were, I think, our favorites. And and Which was the Speaker 2
place with, like, one hundred and fifty different types of wings? Speaker 3
Oh, the wing that place is gone now. Unfortunately, the the Speaker 3
Because they're they're a big Speaker 3
They shut down a bunch of stuff downtown because they're revitalizing the downtown. Sadly, the dog house is one of the places that it's no longer in that wing place too, I believe. So Speaker 0
Yeah. We're we're fortunate enough. We went up, while you while they're all shooting season two, and we got to meet Jared and and have some fun around town. And then actually we're extras on, I think, it was episode three Yeah. Speaker 3
In the hockey arena. Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 0
Of hockey ring scene. So we had a lot of fun up there. Speaker 1
Yeah. Oh, that's cool. Speaker 4
That, that other breakfast place, Nowhere, was it? Nowhere. Yeah. Speaker 0
Nowhere was the classic. Yeah. Speaker 1
Oh my gosh. That's true. Speaker 4
Amazing. Yeah. For sure. Speaker 3
So there you go. You you have your marching orders. Speaker 0
I'm sure. Yeah. Those places. Speaker 1
I'll have to venture out of my room more. Speaker 3
Casey from Virginia says or asks, what kind of single mom do you think Laura is? Have you made up a backstory you can share? Speaker 1
I I haven't made up too much. Although, I saw the drawings are the drawings of a fairly youngish kid. Speaker 1
So I think Laura's kind of like, you know, she takes good care of her kid, but also gives her her space, lets her roam, raise sort of a free run child. Mhmm. Speaker 4
Speaking of roaming children. Speaker 0
Did you hear that? Speaker 4
That was from Matt's side. Speaker 0
Oh, that was that was my pet moose. Speaker 3
Oh, was that moose? Speaker 0
Oh. That was moose. I thought it Speaker 3
was one of your boys. Speaker 0
No. I have I have a hundred pound Cane Corso in the other room. Speaker 4
Yeah. Is he whining? Speaker 0
I don't know what he's doing. Speaker 3
he wants to say hi to Lauren Moore. Let him say hi. Speaker 0
What the hell he's doing, but we'll just let him be for now. Speaker 3
Padel, I don't know where he's from. I I can't remember where he's from, but he wants to know how it feels to be the only one to match and sometimes beat the from Shorzy. Speaker 1
Oh, that's good. That's nice. I like that. And I think I can't remember. I think that might have been been a change that he made while we were shooting the first the first time that came up. Like, I'm not sure that was in the original script, but that's cool. It's nice. It's nice to have that little distinction where I guess it's just being natural all the time. Yeah. Speaker 3
Yeah. It's it's great. I mean, Matt, do you have, like, do you have any, other questions for, for Camille? Speaker 0
Or Well well, I mean, I I wanna talk more about Shorzy just in general. Like, I know season three, we're not gonna talk much about Shorzy, but do you have any favorite moments whether you're in them or just scenes from watching the show that you, that just stuck with you, throughout the series? Speaker 1
Oh, I mean, there are so many. Like, but what I really think is pretty amazing about the shows, and the seasons in particular so far is the way it's like it by the last episode of each season, it's so wrapped up, and it's so beautiful and emotional and funny. And, like, it's just so it's such an incredibly satisfying arc each season. And that really like, what what great That's great. I mean, I think the writing's just incredible. I'm just blown away by it. Speaker 3
One of our listeners called it emotional whiplash, and I think it's it's kinda fair. Because in in the same scene, you might be crying, and then you'll end up laughing to tears. So, Speaker 2
Victor? Yeah. A couple of questions. So, you know, so there is this show, Letterkenny, that you're not, too familiar with, but it did it did go it did go twelve seasons. So and and so Speaker 0
a dick, Richard. Speaker 2
So no. No. I'm I'm let let me cook. So Speaker 4
Yeah. I was just gonna say, should we apologize in advance? Speaker 3
Yeah. We're sorry, Camille. Speaker 2
So, obviously, you're you know, you you've already had an incredibly successful career. But let's say you get a leading role in some crazy blockbuster movie next year, and, you know, it goes it goes gangbusters. Right? Are you still coming back for season twelve of Shores? Speaker 1
Hundred percent. Hundred percent. I'll come back for as long as they'll have me for sure. Speaker 1
Alright. Fuck it. It's a couple of days. Mhmm. A couple of days. Speaker 3
Yeah. That's true. Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 2
Tough enough. That's that's great. I just wanna make sure that we got it on on camera and or it's not on camera. We got a recorder. All your fault. Yeah. Alright. That's Are Speaker 0
are you familiar with the, the recently announced Shorzy classic that they're doing? Have you heard of this yet? Speaker 1
No. I saw something about it, but no. Speaker 0
So they're doing the the cast is going up against, there's two separate games in November, I believe. Speaker 0
One in Toronto, one in Boston going up against alumni of both of the Maple Leafs and the Bruins. So the whole team's going my question question was gonna be, did you get an invite, and will we be able to see you in Toronto? But if not, you should totally come to you should totally come to you should Speaker 2
totally come to the her position on on Speaker 0
on on On to go sports. Yes. Just Speaker 1
come, though. Make my mother so happy. Happy. Speaker 3
Yeah. There you go. Speaker 0
Jared and say, where's my invite, man? Yeah. How often do you listen. So it's already open. How often Speaker 1
do you get back to Toronto? You know, I try to go a couple times a year Mhmm. When I can. Yeah. Speaker 1
For short periods. Speaker 0
Yeah. I get it. I live in Toronto. It's it's already too long Speaker 3
for me. Driving. We get it. It's the driving. Speaker 1
It's the driving. Speaker 3
Yeah. We don't like driving here either. Speaker 4
the chemistry is just so electric between, you and Shorzy. Was that character for for yourself or Laura Moore? Was it all written out, or what did you add to to that character? Like, did you, add something to it? Or Speaker 1
I mean, this I do the lines as scripted a hundred percent. I don't fear off them unless he has a note for me on the day. What I did sort of try to bring to it was just to find the the the reality of the relationship and its journey from, like, going like, this guy is a creep to to, you know, liking him and just try to figure out how I could make so the dialogue is so fun and funny Mhmm. To not to keep that and then also find the other layer that sort of takes me through the whole reality of the relationship. Speaker 4
Yeah. Yeah. It you you guys again, it's it's it it comes across, and you are definitely our favorite character. And and the relationship and the banter and the quick wittedness between the two of you is just fantastic. It it really comes across so well. And, yeah, thank you so much for for spending this time with us and answering all of our questions and dealing with Victor. Speaker 2
I I do have I have one more question Speaker 3
for sure. Go go ahead, Victor. Speaker 2
Yeah. So, you know, you're obviously a lover of theater and movies and whatnot. And so, not counting the movies you've been in, what is your favorite movie of all time? Speaker 1
Oh, of all time. Oh, that's hard. Speaker 2
And it could be a cheesy movie, like, back from the eighties. Speaker 1
One I've watched the most. It among my favorites of all time, and it's the one I've seen the most times, is The Big Lebowski. I watch that over and over and over again. Speaker 1
Yeah. It's a good choice. Speaker 2
That's an easy watch for sure. Speaker 0
Yeah. What about Speaker 3
what about music? I mean, you know, Jared is a master at picking music for for both Letterkenny and Shorzy. Musically, what what are your tastes? Speaker 1
I like, right now, I'm listening to the Black Keys, Speaker 1
air school, and I like, I've always liked Tom Waits. I've always been a big Tom Waits fan. Speaker 1
And, I get into the blues a little bit. Speaker 3
Oh, very cool. Yeah. Nice. Speaker 2
Now wait a second. Here, it says you're also into swing dancing. Is that also just the big Speaker 1
You broke her, man. Oh, no. I can do it. Like, if you don't do the swing dance right now, I could do it. Okay. But, I mean, it's been some years. Speaker 3
Did you learn that for a for a role somewhere? I'm an enthusiast. An enthusiast. Speaker 1
Yeah. That is awesome. Speaker 0
Are these all, like, random items that end up on your resumes? And this wouldn't be the first time we've heard other cast say there's random. I I Evan Stern. I can't remember exactly. Speaker 4
Oh, it was the running. Speaker 3
Yeah. His was Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 1
He's running on his Speaker 2
It was under his skills. Speaker 4
It was like sprint It was it Speaker 1
was sprint running Speaker 0
or something. Skills. Speaker 1
Yeah. It was under his Speaker 1
That's what happens. It's like when you first start, you have no credit. So you just leave beef up. You're like, other skill. Like, oh, I'm bilingual, and, you know, I can swing dance. And then they just stay on there forever. Speaker 0
I'm right handed. Speaker 3
Like Okay. But because we know that Jared listens to these, I'm going to pitch an idea. I wanna see Laura Moore meeting the family, you know, him taking, Shorzy Town onward Speaker 3
That's a good one. Speaker 4
That's a good one. Speaker 3
But have, like, a scene where they're where they swing dance. Speaker 4
What? Now do you see Shorzy as a swing dancer? Speaker 1
Not at all. Not at all. Speaker 0
Surprised us before. Speaker 4
That would not be no. Speaker 3
I think that would be great if we saw him, Speaker 4
We've seen his moves on the dance floor. Yeah. They are not swing dancing kind Speaker 0
of things. You can Speaker 3
do the chicken wing. You can do the the the Charleston. Speaker 1
Yeah. They just they just Oh, man. Speaker 0
Amazing. Well, that's really awesome. So one quick question from my end, and and I ask this to everyone. I mean, I know, the show all started originally from Letterkenny Universe there and then transitioned over, and and you have a very accomplished career. But what has it meant to you to be involved in Shorzi, from a career point? Is it is it any other job, or is it something different for you? Speaker 1
It's it is different for me, actually, in a lot of ways. One, because it's comedy and because I I really don't get to do comedy very often at all. And or if I do, it's, like, so, so dark. Anyway and because, it's also because I'm not usually on something that's so popular. Speaker 1
it's like, that's pretty cool too. Like, I was at the airport, and I looked awful because I was just you know, I was at the airport. And, I was watching a movie, and I was drinking some wine. And then I saw somebody looking over. I'm like, oh, no. Oh, no. Someone's recognizing me. That looks terrible, and I've got it there. Or it's just, like, I gotta, you know, I gotta get it together now. Speaker 3
so, do you, what's the word I'm looking for? Do you, loathe those moments, or or or are you still enjoying? Do you embrace them? Speaker 1
It's really nice, and it's very, very flattering. It just makes me think that Sure. I don't wanna be a huge disappointment Right. When people see me in reality. So Oh, Speaker 0
And did they call you out and and approach you and and say we're gonna be so good to you or anything like that? Speaker 1
No. Not yet. Not yet. One guy did come in. I was eating sushi. I was sitting in the window. He's just staring at me, and then he came in and he pointed at me. And I'm like, yeah. He's like Yeah. Speaker 1
And I was like, mhmm. He's like, awesome. They just left. Speaker 0
Nailed that one. Speaker 3
feel like there was a missed opportunity there for him to go, Speaker 1
yeah, or something. You Speaker 3
know, like where do you find yourself getting more noticed more? In Vancouver or Toronto? Or, what would you say? Speaker 1
It's it really when I have my hair down. Like, when I I usually have a cap on and my hair's up or, like, whatever. But if I'm, like, makeup on and my hair down, then then then yeah. So it's really about my hair, mostly. Got it. So is that Speaker 0
why you left it down today so we could remember But Speaker 0
We weren't a hundred percent sure. We just made sure. Speaker 3
Matt mentioned what popular to the show. And the popular of the two shows, I mean, these are two cult shows. And, I mean, apart from your your your brief stint on Battlestar like, this is the kind of show where if you wanted to, you could go to conventions and stuff, you know, from here on end. How does that feel? Like, is that something you embrace? Or is, like, no. I'm I'm just interested in the art, not I don't care about that. Speaker 1
No. I would embrace that. It's not something I never even thought about, really. But, yeah. Sure. I don't don't do whatever. I'm not that busy. Speaker 3
No? You keep on saying Speaker 2
that, but you It's in your future. Get ready Speaker 0
for it. Painting your cats. Yeah. You have lots to do. Speaker 3
You keep on saying that, but for a Canadian actress, your resume is yeah. It it's pretty impressive. Speaker 1
It's yeah. Well, I like to work, so I'll work as much as I as much as I can. Speaker 2
Yeah. That's great. You're the Nicolas Cage of Canadian actors. Speaker 1
Am so lucky. You just say that. Fucking dick. So that's been, like, my career to me. I Oh, Speaker 0
It's so good. The on the writing side, like, as Al called earlier, you have a few writing credits there. Is is that something that you're still doing or still dabbling in? And and what where's what kind of things do you do you wanna write about, or where where would it take you potentially? Speaker 1
It's something I'm interested in. I mean, the writing credits are sort of in the way of a project that was put together through rehearsal, So not really, like, sitting down to write it. Although, I do write a little bit, and I would like to I'm working on something that I would like to turn. It was a series idea, but that's just such a big endeavor. So I'm trying to redo it as a as a feature that maybe I could direct myself. That's nice. Speaker 3
Oh, so directing is also something you're interested in? Have you done any directing yet? Speaker 1
I haven't. No? But I've been doing this so long. Sometimes it's like I was working on something, and I was, like, one of the most experienced people on set. And I thought, well, I should do other things too. You know? I don't have to just be Speaker 1
With my cats in my car. I could have I can do things. Speaker 3
Yeah. Now you mentioned Shelby Oaks, which is a up an upcoming, I guess, project of yours. And another one that's also listed as upcoming is voluntary. Can you talk anything about that, or is that still Speaker 1
I don't think voluntary. I don't know what's going on with that. It's something I shot quite a while ago that I think is gonna have a life, but I'm not sure. Alright. Shelby Oaks, though, is very exciting. That's the one I shot in Cleveland directed by Chris Stuckman, and, it's his directorial debut, and he wrote it as well. And Mike Flanagan came on as a Oh. With Intrepid Pictures as executive producer. So I think it's gonna get a big push. It's got a great cast, and I'm super, super excited about it. Speaker 3
And any other future, projects you wanna shed some light on before we, let you go? Speaker 1
Well, not even necessarily future, but, I did a movie this year called exile or Speaker 1
out this year, with Adam Beach, and it's a psychological thriller, and it's available on demand right now. And, it's really good. Speaker 3
That's right. I've seen some of your social posts about that, so I I forgot to mention it in the in here in Joel. Speaker 0
That that's that's on that's on my watch list at this time, and I should have watched it before, for coming on today. But Adam Beach, he might have how was it working alongside of him? Speaker 1
It was fun. It was good. It was like a super intense movie, but he's a riot. So we had a really good time. It was just like we laughed a lot. It was really good. Speaker 3
Yeah. Do you need that in in some of these? Because a lot of your roles are pretty intense and and serious. And, like, do you need to do a lot of laughing offs, you know, like, between takes? Or, are you, like, a method where you have to be, like, in it, you know, through the whole Speaker 1
I like to laugh in between. No. Definitely. I feel like if I'm just, like, going through that kind of gut wrench all day, I'll just be I won't have the stamina to to do it. So I try to just save it for when it's on camera and the rest of the time just be just be enjoying myself because it's, you know, it's why I do it anyway. I I'm really in it for the fun. Speaker 3
Mhmm. That's great. Any any more questions? Speaker 4
So what would you, what would you recommend to to actresses coming into one, Speaker 4
Into the, into the role. Speaker 3
Yeah. Into their industry. Speaker 4
Industry. That's what I'm looking for. Speaker 1
Usually, I have mentored a couple younger actresses, and usually what I tell them is make a short film because it's a lot of work. You can it's a lot of effort going into it, but you put yourself in it, and then you're putting yourself out there both as a filmmaker and as an actor. And you're gonna open up so many more avenues for you so much more quickly than just doing auditioning for, you know, officer number two or whatever. It's like that's a long, boring road. Whereas if at least if you're making a short film, you're making something. Speaker 0
Yeah. Amazing. On that note, did you like, I know you talked about you were kinda, like, half in, half out early in your career, still trying to figure out this was for you. Did you have any mentors in your in your in your world or other actresses or actors that you looked up to or aspire to, that were helping drive you through it all? Speaker 1
Yeah. I mean, Vancouver is a really nice community. When I got on to DaVinci's Inquest, I worked with Venus Terzo, and I thought she was so wonderful. She's such a good actor, and she's such a nice person. And I really I looked up to her and, other actors in the community. I work a lot with Gabrielle Rose. She's played my mom on a number of occasions, and, I find her to be an inspiration, her career, and just her herself. She's so much fun and so just, such a great and dedicated actor, but also just not not afraid to look ridiculous. And, so, yeah, there's there's inspiration, like, all around me from just great, great actors that I admire in Vancouver and in Canada as a whole.
Speaker 3
Yeah. Very cool.
Speaker 0
Well, I love that you're maintaining your strong Canadian hold here. And and I I think a lot of people do. They they leave. They go south. They go find where where the the the I don't know what there's lots of opportunity here, but they think they need to go elsewhere.

Like, we had MacLean Fish on last week, and he talked about Winnipeg's film industry. And, of course, we talk a lot about Sudbury and and just in general in Ontario. And, of course, there's a lot most a lot of this stuff's happening in Vancouver, but also in Alberta. Where would you say like, where have you worked the I guess you've worked the most out of Vancouver. Right?
Speaker 1
Sort of. But Winnipeg, I've worked there a couple times. And it's got, yeah, it's got quite a booming industry right now. Mhmm. Doing, yeah, it's it's really good. Everywhere sort of building up. I work in Montreal a little bit, which is fantastic. I mean, it's just a cool city. It's just fun to be in. And Vancouver but Vancouver is quite limited to certain kinds of things. So I actually don't end up working in Vancouver that that much.
