Back in late August of last year, I did a commercial for Best Buy, where I race another guy towards the store. It was a fun?shoot. My wife was Tanya Henley, an actress/comedian I’ve been friends with for?many many years. This guy Bill Turnbull - who’s the drummer in a Toronto band called Debaser - was the other character in the spot, and?a funny, good guy. The commercial ran a whole bunch in the fall, and returned to the airwaves last night during the Flames game. Ironically, a few weeks ago I was kinda pissed off at Best Buy because they screwed up the delivery of my TV by a week. I’m still kinda unhappy with the service I received, but happy I’ll be getting a cheque in the mail soon. Guess it all balances out.

I’m really more a fan of your earlier work, although I thought that you really nailed the motivation of an electronics obsessed man.
