Here’s me as the husband who forgot his wife’s anniversary once, in a radio ad for the Mitsubishi 10th Anniversary Sale, recorded March 20, 2013 at Tattoo Music & Sound in Toronto. It’s a bit unrealistic because I’ll probably never be married. But it’s very realistic in that if I do get married, I will for sure forget my anniversary. And I’ll be scared of my wife.

Title: “The ice sucks”
Here’s me as a passionate hockey fan who’s a friend of an innocent guy saying the ice on the lake sucks for ice fishing. Me and another friend think he’s saying he doesn’t like the Cold Lake Ice hockey team, who are in the Alberta provincial finals. I’m the one who says, “We still going ice fishing today?… Sorry, what?… Uh, yah. Nypower, Cunnigham, Bourget… Top 3 point scorers in the playoffs. I don’t see any suck in that lineup.” (I improvised the line “I don’t see any suck in that lineup.”)Osum is an energy company in Alberta. The Cold Lake Ice are a Junior “B” Ice Hockey team based in Cold Lake, Alberta. Trigger Communications is an ad agency in Calgary. Put them all together, and you have these two radio ads I acted in on March 21. I was in a studio in Toronto. Trigger was in a studio in Calgary. And a couple of the other actors were in a studio in New York City. Thanks to modern technology, distance is no obstacle to comedy gold.

For some people, assembling a desk might cause stress. For me, it’s just the beginning.

I found a juice on the ground. And I’m so thirsty. But my friends say I shouldn’t drink it. Can they convince me?

When I woke up this morning to get something to eat, I found my purse in the fridge. I posted a photo of it on Facebook, soliciting guesses as to why it was there. But then decided it was too important a question to just type the answer to. So I made this video.

After his physically gruelling performance on Come Date With Me Canada, Enviroman was resting up during the Family Day long weekend. But when the Live Green Toronto Awards asked him to make a little video to solicit entries, he answered the call! Sort of.

To celebrate the premiere of Come Date With Me Canada, I’ve partnered with The Pipers Pub & Grill for a screening night when the episode airs for the first time. Now, of course it sounds like a great show. I mean, combine the drama of hosting dinner parties with the thrills of pursuing a woman and you can see why W Network picked up the show. But still, why do I care so much? Because I’m one of the contestants in this premiere episode. You can see the official pub poster below. And you can join the Facebook invite by clicking here. I can’t reveal whether I wind up betrothed at the end of the episode. But I can promise you that, either way, I’ll give you an autograph. I just might not be allowed to sign any body parts.

Here’s me learning how to make a smoothie that will turn my body even more Daniel Craigish than it already is. (Hard to believe I could get any more James Bond, I know.) I probably should have cut this down to a pithy 5 minutes. But everything Lisa Labute, the founder of The Goods, taught me was so useful that I wanted you to have all the, um, goods.
