01Your first job.
Ripping out old carpet and linoleum flooring for my fathers' carpet business. Then I got a job for the plumbing business next to my dad's shop. Then I got to rip out old sinks and toilets. An early introduction to home decorating? Hmmmm.

02The job you wanted as a child.
I always wanted to get a doctor's kit for gifts. A nifty black plastic case with plastic stethoscope and reflex hammer and candy pills. So i guess that means doctor or vet.

03What gets you up in the morning?
As an actor, usually the sunlight. I work nights most, so a casual morning is common. Otherwise its my cell phone alarm ringing for an audition or a meeting or work.

04The best piece of advice you have received in life.
"Follow in the direction of you dreams and you will meet with success" ... a version of a Henry David Thoureau quote. My quote: "you're born, you die, may as well do something that makes you happy while you're here".

05Favourite move and favourite television show.
Aliens and Family Guy and Judge Judy ... she's a delightful bitch at times!

06Favourite song and/or artist.
Green Day... The Monks...Pet Shop Boys...ACDC... it would be great to have John Lennon around nowadays.

07One word your best friend would use to describe you.
Very funny and gassy.

08The one thing any visitor to Vancouver simply cannot miss.
Having a Starbucks coffee and judging people/people watching (depending on their mood) on Robson Street.

09 Complete this sentence: On Sunday mornings I...
...go for breakfast with my boyfriend at an all day breakfast joint.
