David Hewlett's dating techniques from "Traders" (video clip)

[wraithfodder]

Anyway, David Hewlett was in the Canadian drama "Traders" (about stock market folk) and he played Grant Jansky, the programmer geek genius type who makes Rodney McKay look as suave as James Bond ;) Yes, Grant works in a closet (at his own request) and I'm pretty sure I heard in one episode (it's been a while) he likes to be paid in chocolate. Yes, an oddball. Anyway, in this clip, a coworker, Donald (Rick Roberts) is trying to hook up Grant with a girl whom Grant really likes but is clueless on how to approach.

So, enjoy :)

Someone gotta write a cute geeky younger rodney story, unless it's already out there.

You know, as adorable as that is, from that clip, I'm just reinforced in my 'shipping those two guys (damnit, I forget the tall one's NAME! He had to negotiate a deal that would have screwed his family and he got disowned... Donald? *facepalm* I'm only starting S2, hehe.

Donald, yeah, that was the other character in the clip. I had to look it up but knew the actor as I'd seen him in movies.

I love DH in Traders!! He looks so GOOD with a beard, it just brought out his eyes even more!!
I have the first season, are the others available yet?

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I have about a dozen tapes, so have no idea which episodes or which seasons. I should watch 'em all and catalog 'em.

Only Season 1 has been released on DVD. **is sad** Last I heard, rumor-wise, was that it didn't do too well, so there aren't any plans to bring the other 4 seasons out on DVD.

In the first episode Grant appears, (ep 1x3, "Bad is Good"), derivatives genius Grant Jansky is coaxed out of retirement by Jack Larkin (David Cubitt, "Medium") when a bad deal puts the investment bank Gardner Ross in the hole for 2 million dollars and the company needs money quick. Grant doesn't want money, but Jack insists he has to be paid so Grant negotiates 50 pounds of chocolate a week as his salary.

Fortunately it all took place in a closet! ;)

Oh god oh god oh god david hewlett. I just want to lick him all over. Is it bad that I find even his babbling sexy? Mmm.

That was SO adorable. I love Grant. He makes me feel so socially apt. No horrific faux pas of mine has ever been that awkward.
And, of course, Hewlett is fantastic, in everything he's ever done. He probably even rocked the fourth grade play. :D

I'd love to see his early non-tv work, school stuff. bet it was hysterical.

One of the dvd extras for David's movie "Nothing" is a "Making Of" video. You get to see some very short, grainy, black and white clips of highschool!David.

Gah, I wasn't finished with my thought!

David went to high school with "Nothing" director Vincenzo Natali. Natali was talking about how he started making movies when he was in high school and he cast David in his little movies and that's why the clips of David are there.
