( But she remains close to a broad community of Canadian actors working in L.A., including her boyfriend, Callum Keith Rennie. They've been 'seriously' dating for six months. Rennie is 'such a sweet, awesome, shy guy,' she says, 'but he turns into a monster onscreen.' )

year: 2005, actor: polly shannon

*giggles* Oh Polly, honey, next time show your mom Wilby Wonderful or Double Happiness, okay?

Or Flower & Garnet! Murder Seen! Torso! Code Name: The Cleaner! Oh, wait.

(And that was 2005. Which means BEFORE Unnatural & Accidental. And Harper's Island. *g*)

Rennie has played a sex fiend in Last Night, a rapist in Suspicious River, and a dictatorial dad in Falling Angels.

Dude, Last Night is one of his LEAST messed up roles. At least throw in a murderer or something instead if this is the kind of list you want to make.

still. imagine showing your mother last night and being all like, hey, THIS is my hot new BF! (okay, maybe this only applied to *my* mother?)

c_regalis October 12 2009, 18:58:08 UTC

Or maybe Californication. :)

Wot? He also played inocuous characters- like a harmless floor director in The Raffle, right?

he turns into a monster onscreen
and this must be the counterpart to Callum's interview in The Making of Unnatural & Accidental: "My girlfriend was in town for a little while, and there I am reading books about severed heads and asking her crazy questions, and she's, just, "Can you stay away from me?""

Hm! Good catch.

c_regalis October 12 2009, 19:03:52 UTC

Ha! Nice catch indeed.

And you mean GeorgeRaymondHenryDonnyJohn? Absolutely. He was definitely a good guy. Or, less famous example, what about Ed from Flower & Garnet? Or Jim from CC? Or... um. Characters he played in TV series? Hm? (Wow, it's really not so easy to find a nice guy he played in a movie. O.O)

less famous example :D

Right. Even Ed, though I do heart him, nice guy, um? Apart DH Mark, WW Duck and CC Jim, most of his movie characters have got too serious issues to be downright nice. Or they lean on the sleazy. Not talking about serial killers. Or else, not seen long enough to make a judgement. Yeah, better still to rely on TV *shrugs*
