Before we announce the winners of the 2011 My TV Awards, we’re proud to present the My TV Nominee Interview Series. The actor behind one of the main villains on Canada’s best TV show, Being Erica, came back in the show’s final season to lend the character a reassuring dash of pathos. Adam MacDonald, who played Josh MacIntosh […]

Before we announce the winners of the 2011 My TV Awards, we’re proud to present the My TV Nominee Interview Series. A standout player on Canada’s best TV show, Morgan Kelly is best knows as the ever-evolving Brent on Being Erica, where he played the friend/rival/victim/love interest of Erica and her book publishing boss/partner Julianne […]

 

A new 6-part miniseries premiered on Global last week tracing the lives of women in World War II who worked in the factories making bombs and bullets for the Canadian troupes.

It was easily one of the best things ever to come out of Canada’s small TV market. But as I caught up on the most recent season (which aired […]

“This is great news. I’m honored! It’s an overwhelming experience to have your work be recognized in this way. Honestly, being on the show weighed very little in comparison to the actual hands-on work that we were doing with the incredible instructors and so it is in many ways hard to consider myself a ‘TV […]
