Television, when it was good :)

Just some observations in watching some rather old VHS tapes (yes, some of us still have uh, *cough*, far too many).

( Ramblings under the cut )

David Hewlett goes psycho! (er, TV role, that is)

Yes, I made a short video of David Hewlett from his appearance in the 1992 episode "Dead Air" of the fun vampire series, Forever Knight (starring Geraint Wyn Davis). Anyway, he plays an escaped psychiatric patient who is well, unbalanced, and wants to kill off the radio host/psychologist. Nick Knight rides to the rescue, and well, let's just say David sure can scream ;)

Copy quality is grainy - 6 hour VHS, digital camera pointed at tv, you know, primitive but effective...

Next up, his role as a male prostitute (oh, what gems these old videotapes hold!) ;)

Stargate Atlantis' David Hewlett on the streets of Toronto

It is soooo good to be a packrat, not to mention a fan of early Canadian crime dramas, as all I had to do was dig into my boxes in the closet to find David Hewlett's 1987 appearance in the Canadian show Night Heat (starring Scott Hylands, who has appeared on Stargate SG-1, by the way). Anyway, David plays a male prostitute on the streets of Toronto.

R.I.P. Paul Newman, 1925-2008

What more can I say than that he was a great actor? I met him once and he was a very down-to-earth guy.
