Callum Keith Rennie poses for photographers after accepting his Genie award for Performance by an actor in a Supporting Role for his role in 'Normal' at the Genie Awards in Ottawa on Saturday April 4, 2009.
( Canadian actor Callum Keith Rennie has built a career out of playing very bad men. With roles including a manipulative cylon on 'Battlestar Galactica,' a bad-boy rocker on 'Californication,' a serial killer on 'Harper's Island,' and this fall, a Russian mobster on '24,' the rugged performer says it's good to be bad these days. )

aaaaaand some last words
This is neither one of the best episodes of the show nor one of the most memorable ones. The plot is a little contrived (even for Forever Knight ) and the flashback scenes don’t work as well as the writers might have wanted them to. That said, Callum's performance as the cocky/shifty Bruce is interesting given the rather cheesy dialogue and uneven storyline. For one thing, his character looms heavy despite it being a one-shot. He's either in every other scene or other characters are constantly talking about him when absent. It almost seems like Nick is shoved to the side whenever the plot tries to move away from Bruce. The show slows down whenever Nick has one of his flashbacks, for example. Now that I've watched it again after all these years, I wish it would have been a two-parter at least, if only to learn more about Bruce.

I think in North America it's perceived as a rich man's game. But in Scotland, like, there's a golf course attached every... every town. Like, so you can walk to the course from main streets. So it's very... has this sort of working class roots. Which... which I dig. You know? Being from there.
( I've probably been very selfish on a lot of levels, and, you know. I've passed over certain things that may have- You know, relationships and whatnot, 'cause I was focused on career. But trying to find an equal balance between career and having a- a life. And a life with... you know, some great people, to have that work out, I think is the way to go. )
ETA: The video of the interview is now available on YouTube; part 1, part 2, part 3.

( With Hard Core it was more me than a lot of other things I've done. Knowing it's in a documentary style meant I couldn't play anything but who I was. There was no affectation to hang onto. )

The polls on the previous post refused to work no matter how many times I tinkered with the code. So they are re-posted here.
