I've been keto for 2 and a half months now. Never felt better!

Thank you to the first audience this afternoon who came to the invited dress of "Forgiveness." So excited to welcome audiences to see the fruits of our labour. Here's a peek at 3 of the over 200 costume changes in the show. Runs May 23 - Sept. 27 at the Stratford Festival, Tom Patterson Theatre.

A small pleasure with a big impact. It fills me with joy each morning to see a dozen sharp pencils on every table in the rehearsal hall. In what other line of work besides theatre are you gonna get these beautiful sharp pencils every day? Thank you Stage Management! 🥰

Thrilled that an episode of Family Law I shot a couple of years ago w dear friend Jillian Fargey and directed by the incomparable @agamdarshi is airing tonight at 8pm EST on Global. A beautiful episode of a beautiful homegrown Canadian series!

Super proud of my work as Oda Nobunaga in Assassin's Creed: Shadows! This was my 1st major mo-cap role & it was a trip to see how far the tech has come. Having said that, it's good to know they still need flesh-&-blood actors to give voice & life to the CGI. May it always be so!

Forgiveness Day 1 at Stratford's magnificent Tom Patterson Theatre. Even having dreamt of something like this, I'm still overwhelmed by the enormity of the moment.

I'm driving this 19-hr, 1900km stretch from Winnipeg to Stratford next Wed thru Fri and it's giving me the willies. Should I the Interstate route via Minneapolis and Chicago instead? Please weigh in if you know the area!

Great write up about the show "Sex, Drugs and Criminality" that I'm participating in tonight at the Russian Hall in Strathcona. I'd invite you but it's sold out. Sex sells!

Sex, Drugs and Criminality — HOLD ON LET GO 2025 MAMMALIAN DIVING REFLEX Friday, February 7 @ 8pm

A group of teens asks three adult artists whatever they want about sex, drugs and criminality. I'm both thrilled and terrified to be a part of this! I'll probably wind up revealing things I'll never reveal again.
One night only, Fri. Feb. 7

Not as impressive as the customs agent at the Havana airport recognizing me from the pet shop scene in "Best in Show" but I'll take it!

Happy New Year from snowy Sapporo! Braved the crowds at Hokkaido Jingu, had a delicious grilled squid, found a little shrine off to the side that spoke to the quiet in my soul more than the big one with the crowds. Wishing you all health, happiness & prosperity in 2025!
