One level left to go, and should I go deep enough I could be on my way to to the Eglinton Casino in Galway Ireland on Jan, 1 2009 to play in the Irish Poker Championship for 3 days. Shortly thereafter, I'll be in La to play in the LA Celebrity Invitational Event (Feb 28-March 2, 2009), having won the Canadian Championship earning me that exclusive "A" list invite!
Stay tuned for news as it happens!

Very useful project about a Baxter device that aids the chemo infusing patient at home rather than the trouble of going the hospital.

MUCH MUSIC prepaid MasterCard booked & already shot & in the can----nice!
Booked this spot last week, and shot it on Sunday in the freezing weather conditions. No big deal right? Except it was ZERO degrees and I was in golf shirt cutting the grass (at 7am the morning after a light snowfall in the East end of Toronto!)
But it was all good, fun times, efficient, well organized and a good day.
Look for it on MuchMusic and possibly City-TV stations soon....

POKER update----Cashed in the Big Ticket Event
a solid 16th place out of 194 players having put up $320 each (although I won my entry).
Great game but suffered a terrible beat to get busted when my KK lost to an allin move that I called when a player had hit his set of 5's on the flop. I didn't need to amke the call having a huge stack still behind, but felt I was in good shape and need to win more chips if I was to win this game. Oh well.
Quite happy with my performance and $727.50 US richer for it.
Stay tuned for more good news stories soon let's hope.

Poker Big game Saturday $50,000 230PM PartyPoker
I won the $320 buy in prize to play in the weekely $50,000 guaranteed minimum payout event.
Over the last 4 weeks, entry level numbers have been 134, 143, 137 and 163 so hopefully it'll stay on the low side and improve my chances.
I've been playing very solid online games in non-RHPT tournies, and expect to go deep in this one. Top 20 are paid, minimum $500 US.
After finishing in 17th 2 weeks ago in the $10,000 game, I'm feeling better yet about my chances in this one. Hopefully the cards, timing, luck and good decision making are all on my side this week!
Stay tuned for the numbers/results. We're T-minus 23h 46 minues away from the 1st hand.

Poker success breeds success...looking for investors and sponsors
In need of more backers, sponsors and investors. They're starting to roll in....
At only $100 per share, I'm aiming for a total of 100 shares to be invested in me with a positive return on your investment, a bonus will be paid based on the number of investors. IF I don't get 80% invested, your money will be returned as I will not be playing. All payments via PAYPAL in order to guarantee of your return if it doesn't happen.
We will share the wealth, with me keeping only 30% of the take plus expenses (only air & accommodation, & receipts provided) and after all fees and taxes are accounted for. The remainder is split evenly among all of us. I figure I'll need to cash a $15,000 prize level and we break even, anything above is pure profit (if played inside of US due to taxes, then we need a $22,000 payout approx).
Looking to advance to $10,000 buy in events in (tax free) Niagara Falls WPT event, Europe or the Aussie Millions in January '09.
I pay all my own expenses, and the remainder of the buyin if we come up short. Your investment therefore is purely going towards the buy-in amount.
If interested please contact me via phone or email. See "contact" for more detail.

AUDITION -- Rogers Telecommunications on Tuesday Aug 12th.
On very short notice, (I received a script at 12:30AM and had to be in my audition for 2:30PM that day) I did my best on this spot. Call it 2 hours prep, followed by 6 hours sleep and another 2 hours into town. Not my ideal sitaution of course. I always wonder if its reasonable to inform the team of things like this when it ahppens or just suck it up, thinking they don't want to hear excuses. I mean who knows how long the sides have been in circulation, and anyone that doesn't come in with lines down, regardless, appears unprofessional.
That said, the updside can always be perceived as impressive if the sides were only distributed the night before, and here I am off book already! Nice. And I was for the most aprt I think. I did the best I could honestly. I was happy I gave them a decent performance under those conditions. It gets better and that makes it all the more impressive come shoot day, given the opportunity of course. It's out of my hands now. I'm content.
I tried to stay relaxed and conversational, and causally may have even had to improv it slightly. I think it fit within the desired approach. And that's all I could hope for.
Stay tuned.
We shall see.

AUDITION -- Candian Tire Financial Services
Nice campaign...hopefully the nlook and feel of my delivery gets me this one!
This was a difficult audition pice as the timing was bad for me. I had just been informed of the audition late after Day one of a 2 day marathon on MONERIS.
I really didn't have much valuable free time to learn the lines as day 2 ended after midnight, and after a horrible 2.5 hours drive home due to highway re-paving delays and traffic snarls at 1230am...I finally got to bed at about 4am...then awake at 11, with 3.5 hours to nail the script in time for my 5pm performance. And it showed....although I did my best, I admittedly fumbled the lines but hopefully as I said, the tone, pace, deliver etc were at good place for the client to consider.

WINNER WINNER, Chicken Dinner~~Red Hot Poker Tour Season 11: Tournament of Champions!!!
Wow, what an absolute incredible climax to a fantastic season I've had. http://www.redhotpokertour.com/index.html
Going back to March 28th when I won the Season 10 Regional championship, and trip/buyin to WSOP 2008, where I won $36,000 for being 10th out 2,693 entrants in event #52, I then won the Season 11 World Poker Tour sponsored RHPT Online championship for "AnyTime" points, I won the HBO Region over the course of the season, and then further won the HBO Regional 16 top players shootout championship, securing me a place at the Final Table for the SEASON 11 Tournament of Champions competing against the 7 other RHPT Regional champions.
And wouldn't ya know it, if I didn't win that as well!! WOW. It was no easy feat either.
There was some pretty heavy competition and really outstanding play that culminated in my taking down the HBO event by defeating Marilyn V (SweetMe) then onto the FINAL TABLE and heads up with Wayne D (RedHotAce) from London for about 2.5 hours over something like 100 hands....a marthon baby...and it was sick how it ended! Wayne you are a terrific player, and this game could easily have gone either way.
I got hammered by Ed C (Edman) from Windsor when my QQ ran into his KK that took me down to about 3,200 (64,000 in play among the 8 players, but by that time I think there were only 4 left). I was able to survive and claw my way back to see ZEKEN (Sean S) bust out with a 10 high flush calling into Wayne's allin move with the 'Aces full of nines' boat, and then Ed also lost out to Wayne shortly thereafter leaving the 2 of us headsup, and I will add, Wayne had a sizeable lead. About 53,000 to my 11,000. It was a seesaw battle let me tell you!
I was able to take control when I got caught with an allin reriase move pushing my 85 into the middle and Wayne called with his apparent favorite hand, Ah9h. I hit the 8 and doubled up large to take the comanding lead away from Wayne.
Then Wayne to his credit was able fight his way back to take the lead, when I really thought I had him on the ropes and couldn't find the guts to call any of his aggressive plays. As a result his strong play kept him right there and gave himself a good chance to win.
I asked for another short break near around 1:15am, after starting the FT at 8pm, and after returning I woke up with a pocket pair and pushed allin, Wayne stalled. I turned to the crowd who understandably were getting fatigued and said half kiddingly, "well it's what you want isn't it?" Wayne folded.
Very next hand Wayne shoved allin. I said, "So that's how it's gonna be is it Wayne? I shove, you shove, I shove huh?" and folded.
And the final hand which cam on the very next deal: I said "OK then. If I do it, I don't think you've got the guts to call" (clearly my stratey was to get him to call, and sure enough Wayne did have the guts and courage to make the call (which deep down I hoped for, and as we all know the adage,'be careful what you wish for, it just ight come true').
Wayne had KJ and I showed AK. I was happy to say the least.
Flop came down QJ3. Dammit! Wayne was now ahead hitting his J and his family and friends were excited. I was calm but behind. I need the A for bigger pair, or 10 for the straight.
The turn as a King. Double dammit! Wayne now has 2 pair to my one.
I still needed either the Ace or a Ten. And since the Ace is a god, the Ace of diamonds fell on the river and my 2 pair beat Wayne's two pair. I thought he had me covered in chips, but knew it was close.
The count down happend and I was in fact ahead by only 800 and the game was over!
Who knows what's in store now, the hope is for a seat at the $10,000 World Poker Tour's LA Celebrity invitational Poker Classic in March 2009. We shall see.

I still needed either the Ace or a Ten. And since the Ace is a god, the Ace of diamonds fell on the river and my 2 pair beat Wayne's two pair. I thought he had me covered in chips, but knew it was close.
The count down happend and I was in fact ahead by only 800 and the game was over!
Who knows what's in store now, the hope is for a seat at the $10,000 World Poker Tour's LA Celebrity invitational Poker Classic in March 2009. We shall see.

Red Hot Poker Tour Season 11 Championship is this Saturday July 26th
As the leader in the Hamilton-Burlington-Brantford-Oakville region, I will receive a starting bonus of 2,500 chips + as the leader in the AnyTime Points category of our online sponsor, the WPT, I will get another 500 chip bonus all over and above everyone's starting stcks of 4,000. Doesn't guarantee me anything, but is nice to have a lead going in. I already have 10% of all the chips....only 90% more to go!
This is an incredible event as the winner of the 16 player regional game will then compete against the winners of the 7 other 16 player Ontario regional championships to make a Final Table of 8 players. The ultimate winner of that, will receive the $10,000 (US) entry in the WPT LA CELEBRITY POKER CLASSIC to be played in LA in March 2009. Anything the player is lucky enough to win there, is theirs to keep; just as I was fortunate enough to win $36,000 at this year's WSOP!
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.......THIS IS IT!

Audition *** PokerStars (as the dealer)
Coming off the great WSOP event (10th place finish of 2700 entrants) it was crazy that I'd walk into this audition.
Would honestly have preferred to be a player than the dealer for casting purposes....however it has moved into production now and with no call, I'm resigned to ahving missed this one, too bad.
Lots of Pro players in Toronto to shoot a campaign as i've seen Daniel Negreanu's blog mentioning it several times this past week. Oh well. Better luck next time and good things come to those who wait, right?!

WSOP Event #52 over---WINNER WINNER Chicken Dinner!
I pushed all my chips in with QQ and got called by A6c. He flopped the nut flush and I was suddenly out of the tournament and financially $36,000 richer! (Less of course the IRS's cut)
2,693 players, I finished 10th!
Suh--weet.
Where do I begin?
How about the biggest hand of note before that one that busted me out.....I found pocket 3's and called a preflop raise of 2.5x the BB. Flop came down 23K all diamonds. I flopped a set & bet out 150,000. He pushed allin and I called. He rolled over Q9 diamonds and I need to pair the board to win. Didn't happen and I lost 379,000 chips. I lost only 2 hands the entire day, both flushes, both to the same guy who would ultimately take down the bracelet and $635,000. Good on him.
A big hand of note prior to that: The Russian Czar on my left, asked me "...is this it?" I sensed he wanted me to shove. I did. Before my fingers tips had fully grabbed my stack, he called and slammed down his KQ. I completed my shove, counted out 293,000 and then wished him good luck as I turned over my AK. He hit his Q and I was suddenly behind. I advised him that the Ace was a God, only to be disappointed by the turn's 7d, and I repeated to him and the entire room with much encouragement, that "THE ACE IS A GOD!" and sure enough the Ace of hearts made an appearance. I then excitedly released a boisterous, "This IS it!"
Other notes:
I busted Mimi Tran.
I out played Kenna James (who started the day at my table, Red 8 seat 1, he was in seat 4)
I sat beside Vanessa Russo for 1/2 a hand before she busted (no pun intended).
Ended day 2 with only 11,500 chips in 206th place well behind the chip leader's 230,000 count.
I busted out when antes matched the tournaments starting amounts (3,000A/12,000SB/24,000BB).
I started the day at Table 6, seat 1, I ended the day at table 6, seat 1. In between, I got moved to table 4 seat 1, back to table 6 (seat 6), then final redraw with 12 players left moved back to T6/S1.
At the end of Day 1 (1:00am) I walked the 30 minutes back to Harrah's from the RIO to unwind, get some excercise and hopefully help me sleep deeply. It worked very well indeed.
Day 2: I walked back to the RIO at 1pm to wake up and get my head focussed and body alert and blood flowing (even though with sucha small stack I had pretty much resigned to the fact I was not long for the game at that point). Wow did things change in a hurry.
2nd hand of day 2: upon seeing my hole cards I stalled. that brief moment of hestitaion was followed up with my hearing fired at me from seat 4 (by Event #10 Bracelet winner, Farzad Rouhani from Iran) as if he was mind reading, "THIS IS IT!" And when I looked up, we somehow connected with a smile and in fact I had decided that with my suited A8 (dead man's hand) THIS just might be it, and I shoved it allin.
Farzad in the BB said to me, "That is best 7 high move you are going to get away with from me all day" and folded. Suddenly I had 16,500 and 3 hands later I found AQh. Again I stalled, and with action folded around to me, I latched onto the new catch phrase and said again, "This is it!" Everyone folded to the BB who stalled himself. He counted his 70,000 chips and I asked himself if he wanted to see them (my cards). He went into a self induced rage of confusion (or something) and he kept repeating "Do I want to see them?" over and over again. He called and slammed his A-10 down and cursed himself when I showed the AQ. And BAM, I was 35,000+ and things got better as the day inched on.
Andy Bloch stopped by for a glance at the action.
Andy Black later showed himself and chatted with a few people.
Kenna James was the last celeb to stop at the rail. Seeing me still alive, I was surprised when he recognized me, winked with shot me a thumbs up!
I never revealed to anyone that I am an actor, feeling it would bring unwanted action.
My card protector was a domino.
At the Regional Championship I used the 8-8 domino and pocket 8's were the winning hand that got me to the WSOP. Fate? Who knows. Anyhow, this time through I brought the 5-5 for no specific reason. I spun my 5-5(hopefully lucky) domino as my card protector and many times when asked about its significance, had to fabricate a story.....I went the sympathy route. The actor in me took over and rather than just say somehting boring like `no reason`, it went something along the lines of, `I have 5 children, they bought me a domino gift set for Fathers Day saying the 5-5 was for luck and to remind me of them.` It was total BS I gotta admit.
Who knows if it brought a sympathy FOLD, or call for that matter at the right time.
I was surprisingly not overwhelmed by the entire experience, but rather calm and collected. I tried to recall Banjo`s recollection of his WPT event, and re-read James Reinhart`s shared one pager of hints and tips sheet. It was very reassuring having the voices of RHPT supporters in my head with me. While there were no physical RHPT supprters in the audience or at the rail, it somehow relieved the pressure. As much as I thought that might be nice, I convinced myself, it was better there were none. Perhaps I just cannot admit to myself, `Gary you have no friends!`
OK, there. I said. Sad, I know. 26 hours of play time with no friends at my side, who else am I going to chat with........certainly not my opponents...not about the hands I was or was not playing.
At one point, I think I may even have told myself, `I can do this!` I then sent that voice away, and tried to focus only the immediate hand in front me. `The future is NOW. Stay here and now` I kept telling myself.
Some mighty huge stacks fell to the wayside with repeatedly identical points of view. Something along the lines of `Only the top 3 spots are worth palying for.` I felt that was arrogant and likely to be their downfall. One guy floored me when I heard him say, `I think I am the most notable guy left.` No one knew him that I could tell. That was well worth ear marking. He played like a donkey after that. I will give him some credit though, as upon hearing that, I was then moved to his table and on his right. I immedaitely doubled through him with AQ when he called with 99 and I hit the Q. 79,000 x 2. YES!
He doubled another guy for 110,000, then tilted and raised a reraiser from 45,000 to 145,000 and they folded as he fired out `MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE HAND` he said, shooting his 8-6 offsuit across the table. No one was impressed. In RHPT circles, this is known as `The Kooze`
He later lost a 200,000+ pot without showing to an allin bet on the river. His 400,000+ were gone in under an hour, when I first sat beside with my 79. and said good bye when I was at 110,00. Nice.
There are LOTS of other chip dumps that happened. I kept telling myself...`what are they doing wrong and keep doing what you are doing me because its working.` It is oddly sad to see the depression wash over a huge stack getting busted, and the regret that is evident in them.
I learned a helluva lot this week.
I had an incredible 2 day run.
I thank the Party Poker sponsor and the Red Hot Poker Tour for the opportunity.
I hope I can do it again soon, and I hope the level of the bar I have set will be surpassed by a RHPT player (me or someone else) so we all rejoice in that one day again..... soon!

Audition--Project "Dental" shooting in Prague (fingers crossed)
It's now Sunday, but 2 days (on Friday may 30th) i auditioned for a TV dspot for a denture maker that for some reason is shooting in Prague (yes, the Czech Repulic) near the end of June. It is scheduled to appear in the German market to start.
So I did my best to look European and polished my pearly whites!
It was a good audition, I was quite happy with the improv and my potential cast partner (thanks Liz!).
We had to improv a tender yet fun loving moment with wine, in the kitchen while preparing dinner. We were each given back stories for intensity and played it out without either of us knwing the other's back story. We shared notes afterward only to learn how potenitally tragic and sensitive our relationship is/was.
Fingers are crossed only to learn that shoiuld I be cast in it, I will be jet setting around the world! From Toronto to Czech Repulic to Toronto to Las Vegas (for the World Series of Poker) and home again back to back to back over 9 days. That's very exciting! So looking forward to it happening.
Stay tuned.......I'm already packing......

I won! The RHPT Regional Championship Playoff Event and the prize package...Vegas Baby!
What a great night of poker it was. All around, all players, all night.
I was lucky enough to take it down and with it comes the $1,500 entry fee into the World Series of Poker event #52 starting June 30th. 4 nights accommodation, and travel allowance as well. Nice.
Thank you Red Hot Poker Tour. For info go to http://www.redhotpokertour.com/ for genereal info, but details of the championhip may take a few days to get posted.
The winning hand: I have 18K chips, SB has 14K, blinds 300/600 100 ante.
Small blind 300, calls for 300 more.
I am Big blind, I check.
Flop: Kc 8s 3h
SB checks, I check.
Turn: 2h
SB bets out 1,200, I raise to 2,400.
SB re-raises over the top allin, I call.
SB shows Ks5c, hitting top pair (I breathe sigh of relief as there is no flush draw).
I turn over 8h8d for the set and SB is drawing dead.
Heads up last probably close to an hour I think. It was a good night. I got lots of great hands and maxed pots almost everytime I think. I won every race which I do not ever recall have happen.
About halfway into the evening another here is a noteworthy hand:
Blinds 100/200.
Player to my right limps, I raise it up to 800. Player to my left calls, blinds both fold, and limper calls seemingly priced in.
Flop come down, Jd 8h 6h.
Limper checks.
I bet 2,000.
Player to my left, raises allin for 3,250 more on top. Limper folds.
I folded two black KINGS. And felt very comfortable doing so. This hand gave me much confidence even though I lost 2,800 chips. Later I was told the allin flopped a set of JACKS. Good fold as it turned out. And due to my doubling up about 8 hands into the game, this 2,800 loss still had me as the chip leader. A strange calm poured over me, and I knew I was in my zone! And the cards just kept on coming. As did the chips.
In the Big plan, I have now achieved the 2nd of my 3 step goal-plan. Win a regional title, win the Regional Championship (i.e. earn the WSOP buy in) and achieve financial success AT the WSOP event starting June 30th.
As a commitment to my fellow poker player Regional Championship opponents (i.e. *partners*) I am documenting our agreement. 6 players agreed to a *share the wealth* concept prior to the first hand being dealt. Whoever won (as it turned out to be me), that person (i.e. me) shall after all fees are paid at the event, keep 75% of any cash won at the game, and the remaining 25% will be split equally among all players in the agreement (6 of us in total, as 2 opted not to participate, and their initials are BC and PB. I have chosen not to use their proper names in this public forum for reasons of privacy.

Red Hot Poker Tour--Season 10 Tournament of Champions March 29
Another opportunity to win entry in the World Series of Poker has presented itself.
I have qualified for the national tournament that plays this Saturday at 1pm. Top 150 players in Canada (I am currently in 6th place in the standings with tonight being the final night to earn points), will compete for one of 3 seats being awarded at this Tournament of Champions.
Those 3 seats are valued at $1,500 (plus travel/hotel). Any money won at the WSOP event starting June 30 I think, is the player's to keep. Nice. Last year the winner took home $722,914. There were over 3,100 players and the final cash prize went to a player in 324th place getting $2,667. Still nice, given it's a free entry for the Red Hot Poker Tour winners.
For more info visit http://www.redhotpokertour.com/ or http://www.redclubroom.com/
Shuffle up and deal!

Bud Light Audition call back for 2nd reading....nice.
After audition on Tuesday of this week, I exited to see waiting for their callin were 2 high profile on air personalities. I can't say their names for obvious reasons, however it was surprising to see that the advertisers may go in that direction.
When I went to my call back audition yesterday (Wednesday), I did not see their names on the sign in sheet and I was in the last group to be seen. Not sure if that's good or bad!
Anyhow, am standing by awaiting word. Would be nice.
Would be a challenge to co-ordinate as I am also shooting a film this weekend and have entries into 2 fantastic poker tournies where winners will be on their way to Vegas for the WSOP 2008!
More on that in another blog shortly.

TIM--BR Mart TV campaign booked and shot in Halifax
Great trip, good day!
Had a blast shooting a campaign for TIM-BR Mart. To audition for this, 2 days earlier a hand held digital cam recorded me in my basement using a sort of 'handyman-project-in-progress' kind of look/style. I read one :30 and 3x:10's direct to cam as the spokesperson. I posted them on You Tube and provided a link to view them to the casting director/producer for decision making given they were in Halifax.
Many thanks also to (and I'm sure I will forget some names, please forgive me): Evan, Craig, Alana, Natalie, Elizabeth, John, Dave, Trevor, Christopher, Mike, Steve, Sara, Richard, and all the other cast and crew members who made it such a fun ad enjoyable day.
Stay tuned to your local/national Weather Network tv channel for this one breaking April 28th or there abouts!

RHPT Winner 1,025 Points pushes me over 50,000 career
...........on Thursday evening (while sitting at 49,900 points in my 4 full seasons on tour to date), I won first place and surpassed the magical 50,000 total career point plateau.
At the last Tournament of Champions event it was announced that there are are only 24 remaining jackets to be claimed in this exclusive club of point getters. Only 50 were made.
I hope they still have an XL size for me waiting! I have to think I made it as we're only 4 weeks into this season, but ya never know how many other players may have surpassed the mark already.
I have win totals in each of my previous as follows: 4, 4, 4, and 7 last season and have already won twice so far in this, the Red Hot Poker Tour's 10th season. taht's 21 career wins. I wonder how that stacks up overall. Not a tremendously high number but respectable none the less I think. each season's leader usually has around 8-12 wins while playing in the range or 90-120 games. I usually play in the 40-50 games per season range. My overall leaderboard finishes in Canada in each of those 4 previous seasons has been as follows: 73rd, 19th, 27th, and 8th last season. Currently I'm in 43rd in the nation.
