For comments….all you need is a name and a comment….please ignore the rest.
Hello – I thought he played a very good role in The American President. I have seen him a few times on The Good Wife on TV as well. I thought he was from Vancouver, British Columbia. He is the same age as Bobby if he was born in 1961. Thanks for this site – good job as usual.
Bern – he was born in Edmonton. As an army Brat, he travelled all over the place. I live in Chilliwack, which used to have an Canadian Forces Base. Therefore, he lived where I lived from the time he was three to a certain age. Then he moved to Burnaby, B.C. which is a city near Vancouver.
As such, he is from Vancouver in the same way that I am from Vancouver when I am travelling internationally which I have not done in a long time. But when Mom and I were at an airport in Chicago long ago and were asked about where we are from, we said Vancouver, British Columbia.
Thanks for stopping by BERN1960….Canada is Canada right? What is the difference between the different parts of Canada…lol. I liked his role in The American President as well. Good to see you again.
Steve knocked the third person off the podium and bumped me down from silver to bronze.
And who is this mysterious Steve that dared bump you down to bronze after knocking someone off their podium? hmm doesn’t sound like a nice fellow at all. [growls]
LOL! Well, if you don’t know who you are, then who does? 😉
As long as Steve did not knock me off the top step….I am ok with his tally….lol.
